TWR held its first charity event in October of 2008, The Soldier Field Charity Hill Challenge. We held the event for Stephanie Burde, someone close to the TWR family. We lucked out with a perfect Fall day and raised over $8000. As a group there were almost 3000 hills run that day. We want to thank everyone that came out to run and to everyone that sponsored someone that ran.
On Sunday October 25, 2009 at 9:30am TWR will be sponsoring its 2nd annual Solider Field Charity Hill Challenge. The event will be located at the sledding hill behind the southeast end zone of Soldier Field. The challenge is this.... how many hills can you run or walk in one hour?
This year we are raising money for Cabrini Connections, a mentoring & tutoring program that works with young adolescents in lower income areas and helps them become productive and successful young adults. The after school program allows these unprivileged kids to develop and work with adult professionals in the workplace to get hands on experience in a one-on-one setting. This prepares them to graduate from high school and college and be in a career by age 25, a feat statistically hard to achieve for these kids alone.
A minimum donation of $25 dollars and will include the hill workout and a complimentary t-shirt. You are also encouraged to find sponsors to raise additional money. We suggest passing along this info to family/friends/businesses, etc. They can donate to sponsor you per hill or give a flat contribution. ALL proceeds will go to the charity and are TAX DEDUCTIBLE (pledge sheets are available at TWR).
This event is not limited to TWR clientele, so please invite co-workers, friends, and family! If you would like to be involved or donate please let us know so we can get the proper number of shirts printed out (you can also sign up at TWR). You do NOT have to be in stellar shape to participate in this event. Although it is a "run" you can walk or even cheer others on! We had almost 50 people run last year and we want to see our number this year approach 100!!
If you have any questions please send us an inquiry via our contact page or call!
