Join Team One Step to complete the 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon and raise funds for Camp One Step! Each runner receives a paid entry, team jersey, coaching, training plans, a personalized fundraising page, race day support, and being part of a motivating team. Our race day support includes a Celebration Party at Southbranch Tavern with complimentary lunch and select beverages for you and your supporters. In exchange, we ask that each runner raise a minimum of $1,750, the lowest amount allowed by the Chicago Marathon. We provide all the tools necessary to reach your goal, including a fundraising page you can personalize with photos and templates.
The funds raised by our team support Camp One Step, a camp for children with cancer. As you probably understand, all kids going through a cancer diagnosis lose a sense of being a kid. They spend time in the clinic and hospital when they should be out playing. Camp is a safe place for them to make friendships with others who understand their unique journey, laugh, and just be a kid! Since 1978, Camp One Step has brought happiness, support, strength, and hope to hundreds of campers and their families each year. Our FREE in-person camps and CONNECTED digital programs serve kids with cancer (whether newly diagnosed, in-treatment, or in remission), their siblings, and even their parents. Inclusion, accessibility, connections and empowerment are core to our mission. At Camp One Step, kids make forever friendships, reclaim childhood, and families feel whole again.
