Since 1969, Special Children’s Charities has been the driving force behind inclusion and empowerment for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Chicago. 

SCC provides high-quality athletic, educational and life-enriching programs through CPS and Chicago Park District that inspire our participants to dream big, overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

The spirit of accomplishment, inclusion, and joy that are part of the marathon experience are what we strive to provide for thousands of our participants in all 77 Chicago neighborhoods. With your help, we are creating a more inclusive Chicago–one mile at a time.

Again, thank you for supporting the thousands of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Chicago!
