Welcome to Aspire's Dream Team Page! 

Our team is officially full! 
We are so grateful for the incredible group of runners who have committed to going the distance for Aspire this year.

Already have a spot in the Chicago Marathon?
You can still be part of the Dream Team! Join us as a charity runner and fundraise alongside our team.

Please reach out to Events@aspirechicago.com for more information.
(At this time, you must already have secured your own entry into the Chicago Marathon to join the team.)

As a member of Aspire’s 2026 Chicago Marathon Dream Team, you’ll receive:

• A pre-race team dinner to connect, celebrate, and gear up together!

• Aspire gear when you reach your fundraising goal

• A customizable fundraising page through Haku to share your story and inspire supporters

We’re thrilled to cheer you on every step of the way! 

At Aspire, opportunity means more than access, it means real pathways to independence, purpose, and success. You can help us make a real impact. Last year support from individuals like you helped us achieve: 

• 57 individuals participated in Aspire’s inaugural Employment Training Program (ETP), gaining hands-on experience and preparing for the workforce
• 32 people secured employment after completing a 10-week paid internship—turning training into meaningful, real-world careers
• 37 athletes competed in Special Olympics, earning 74 medals and showcasing their strength, determination, and pride
• 30 individuals were placed in dream jobs, aligning their work with their unique strengths, interests, and goals

Every dollar you raise helps Aspire connect people with disabilities to ever-greater possibilities — safe homes, meaningful jobs, and opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.

Let's show the world what together really means! 

All funds raised will benefit Aspire's mission of connecting people with disabilities to ever-greater possibilities for learning, jobs, and safe places to call home.
