Get ready to lace up your walking shoes for the "Walking for Our Legacy" virtual walk-a-thon event, happening from October 13th to December 9th, 2023, in Chicago, Cook County! This exciting initiative invites participants to walk 13 miles (or 27,500 steps), the distance of a half-marathon, over a four-week period. The event aims to raise $50,000 by Giving Tuesday on November 28th, supporting vital social-emotional resources for Legacy Charter School scholars.

This community-wide effort encourages everyone to get involved, whether you're walking solo or inviting friends and family to join in the fun.

With prizes up for grabs and a focus on promoting health, happiness, and legacy-building, this event is a fantastic way to make a positive impact while staying active. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to walk for a worthy cause and help shape a brighter future for our scholars!

Organiser's description

YOU CAN'T BUILD A LEGACY BY STANDING STILL!

DID YOU KNOW - that physical activity has a huge potential to enhance our well-being? Even a short burst of 10 minutes of brisk walking increases mental alertness, and energy, and positively affects our mood. Regular physical activity can increase self-esteem, reduce stress and anxiety, and combat obesity and physical illnesses.

Legacy Charter School is committed to the health and wellness of our scholars, families, and community. We aim to raise $50,000 by Giving Tuesday, November 28th, and we need your help! "WE ARE WALKING FOR OUR LEGACY." Join us for our 1st virtual walk-a-thon as we raise funds to support and expand social-emotional resources for Legacy scholars!
