I’m excited to share that on October 11, I’ll be running the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon with Team Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago (BGCC)!

As I train for 26.2 miles, I’m also raising critical funds to help ensure Chicago’s children and teens have the support and resources they need to thrive.

BGCC provides so much more than a safe place to go it offers caring mentors, healthy meals, and programs that build strong foundations through social, emotional, and cognitive development.

As a former Club kid, this mission is personal to me. I know firsthand the impact, life skills, and core memories BGCC creates, and I’m incredibly grateful to have experienced it. It is essential that the next generation has that same opportunity.

With your support, we can ensure kids always have a Club they can rely on! Please consider supporting Chicago’s youth!

About Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago
Serving families since 1902, Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago (BGCC) is the city's largest and longest-serving youth development organization dedicated to providing safe spaces for area kids and teens. BGCC uses a comprehensive blend of mentoring and programming to provide youth ages 5 to 20+ the tools they need to become well-rounded and successful adults. Filling the out-of-school hours, which can be the most dangerous for young people, BGCC offers academic, social, and leadership activities for students in some of Chicago’s most underserved neighborhoods. Youth are matched with professional adult mentors, giving kids a safe place to learn, grow, and succeed.
