We are so grateful to our Chicago Run community for all the engagement and support we received during our 12th annual (1st virtual) Little Steps, Big Stars celebration!

Our virtual Little Steps, Big Stars gala was a lively week-long celebration featuring featuring Peter Sagal of NPR’s Wait, Wait... Don’t Tell Me! The week of online content included sharing stories from our participants, conversations with exciting speakers, a silent auction, and unique opportunities to connect with our mission. This year’s event looked a bit different, but now, more than ever, we know that running and physical activity are critical to the physical and mental health of our communities.

Thanks to supporters like you, we are excited to announce that we exceeded our overall gala goal and raised over $145,000! Theses funds will help ensure that Chicago Run continues to deepen our impact and build healthy Chicago communities.

Check out our 2020 gala video below!
