If you have your own race entry in the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon you may still join our team:
- Register as a Team St. Jude fundraiser and earn access to exclusive St. Jude Heroes gear along the way.
Or
- Commit to one of the fundraising levels below to receive access to race weekend benefits like the St. Jude Heroes pre-race pasta party and race day hospitality. Contact kristine.paca@alsac.stjude.org for more information.
Fundraise for the children and families at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® while you train for your race. The fundraising efforts of runners like you help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - so they can focus on helping their child live.
Earn a St. Jude Heroes singlet or tech shirt when you raise $250.00.
