Our fundraiser, Rotary Hope Walk for the Homeless, officially began May 5 with a Walk-a-thon. The 10-day Walk-a-thon will be followed by a 5K fun Run/Walk event in Gillson Park on May 14.. Proceeds will go to support organizations that provide services to homeless people in Chicago and the suburbs (Connections for the Homeless, La Case Norte, and others). Those who register to walk will solicit others to pledge $2-10 per mile walked from May 5-14. Those not walking during the 10-days, can walk on May 14th at the fun walk/run in Gillson Park. The Rotary clubs of Wilmette Harbor, Winnetka/Northfield, Evanston, Evanston Lighthouse and Skokie Valley have agreed to join us and publicize the event On Saturday May 14, we will have the 5k fun Walk/Run in Gillson Park from 10am to noon. The 5K will begin at the Wallace Bowl at 10am. We will explain the specific route to take through the park, register participants who did not yet register online, recognize our sponsors and our fundraising recipients. Food and drink will be available at the end of the 5k. Ticket prices are the same for those who register to walk and for those just attending the May 14 event; $100 for families (of any number), $50 for individuals, and $25 for students (under age 22).
