I'm running the 2024 Bank of America Chicago to support Mission of Our Lady of the Angels!
Last year I was SO fortunate to be able to run with Team OLA for the first time, and what a wonderful experience it was! I was thoroughly inspired by how hard the team worked to make everyone have the best marathon experience possible!
The marathon is OLA's primary fundraiser, and they are only able to carry out their mission through the generosity of people like you!! Thanks to you, they are able to provide support to thousands of people and families who are less fortunate. Anna and I volunteer at their food pantry every opportunity we can, and it is a humbling and beautiful experience to see these religious sisters giving their whole hearts to anyone they encounter who is in need.
Mission of Our Lady of the Angels exists to provide material and spiritual support to W. Humboldt Park, Chicago- one of the most challenged neighborhoods in the US. The Mission feeds about 3000 families a month, provides additional material and pastoral support to families, youth, and senior citizens, and, most importantly, brings the love of Christ to a neighborhood desperately in need of hope. More info about the Mission at www.missionola.com.
Funds raised from Team OLA 2024 will be used to:
(1) Help the Mission expand its food pantry + other material distributions
-Mission of Our Lady of the Angels currently serves about 3000 families a month- and growing!

(2) Help the Mission renovate an additional convent for more sisters!
-We need a separate convent for our young sisters in formation
