A MESSAGE FROM Amelia's Chicago Marathon Fundraising Page
Hi!
I'm Amelia, and I'm thrilled to share that I am partnering with The Chicago Parks Foundation. On October 13, 2024 I'll be running the Chicago Marathon to raise funds for enhancing and preserving the green spaces that are the heartbeat of the city.
The Chicago Parks Foundation is on a mission to build a stronger community dedicated to supporting and conserving Chicago's parks. With your support, we can make this vision a reality. Your contribution isn't just a donation; it's a direct investment in initiatives such as park maintenance, community programs, and the creation of innovative spaces that cater to the diverse needs of Chicagoans.
The Chicago Park District is one of the largest municipal park managers in the nation, with 600+ parks, 220 field houses, 24 beaches, 11 museums, 10 harbors, 9 golf courses, and an incredible team of staff. Tax dollars alone cannot provide all of the funds needed to maintain and improve these parks and park programs. That's where the Chicago Parks Foundation comes in. As a charitable partner of the Park District, they help bridge the gap between communities and their parks.
My goal is to raise $1,750 to contribute to the Chicago Parks Foundation's efforts to build a legacy of green spaces that foster health, happiness, and unity. No donation is too small. Please click on the donate button!
