Proud to Run
Calling all morning people and those who can be one for just a day! The 27th annual Proud to Run race sponsored by Frontunners/Frontwalkers Chicago is on Saturday, June 28. Gerber/Hart is honored to be chosen as a beneficiary of this special event. We need volunteers to assist on the day of the race with tasks such as directing runners and walkers and staffing water stations. You must be at the race site by 6 am. The race starts and finishes at Montrose Avenue, east of Lake Shore Drive and north of Montrose Harbor in Lincoln Park. In return for your help, you'll get not one, not two, but three gifts: the satisfaction of knowing that you've lent a hand with this community tradition, a spiffy Proud to Run T-shirt, and a gift certificate redeemable at a future Gerber/Hart book sale. If you'd like to help out, please call Gerber/Hart or email our volunteer coordinator at volunteers@gerberhart.org.
You say you want to expend a few more calories? Then consider participating in Proud to Run as a runner or walker. You can sign up online. It's a wonderful opportunity to realize your training goals and set your personal best!
