HSC is launching a new Charity Athletics Program to make it even easier to for you to be part of the healthy schools team. We have developed a tiered-giving program, meaning the more you raise, the more benefits you receive!

This system was developed to allow you to run for HSC without the pressure of large fundraising requirements. It’s important to us that you enjoy raising money for HSC as much as you enjoy training for the marathon, so we would like to help you set realistic goals and give you fun and helpful benefits for reaching them! We want you to enjoy being part of the team that is making schools healthy places to learn and work.

Important Note: We are able to offer this flexible program because we have signed on as a “contributing charity” for the 2009 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, meaning we didn’t purchase any bibs. You will need to sign up for the marathon yourself and purchase your own bib.
