Chick-Fil-A Schaumburg 5K Challenge

How many times have you turned on your television and seen a commercial featuring large-eyed children and families suffering from poverty, sickness, homelessness, etc.?  You wanted to help, but couldn’t commit to a monthly donation or a large check.  BUT… can you commit to running/walking in a 5K or even two 5 K races in a week?
 
One challenge, two races that’s the Chick-fil-a Challenge. Individually the races are the Chick-Fil-A Schaumburg 5K Run/Walk and the Hoffman Estates Germanfest 5K.
 
 
 
 
Proceeds from these races will benefit The Rotary Club of Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates. The Rotary Club touches lives all over the world through its efforts to eradicate polio, provide clean drinking water and promote literacy, but Rotary also helps right here in Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates. Here are some of the Club’s local projects:
  • Providing school supplies to families in need
  • Helping folks who struggle with mental health issues find needed services
  • Providing funding and resources so Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates High Schools can send weekend food packages home with students living in food insecure families
  • Giving scholarships to hard working students who need help financing their college tuition and fees.
  • Helping people get back to work and/or find better jobs.
  • Working with the Schaumburg Barn Senior Nutritional Program serving the Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates area
These people live right here in your backyard and you can help, you can make a difference. Register today at http://www.schaumburgshuffle.com/home-1
 
Thank you in advance for your support,
 
The Rotary Club of Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates
