Save to Favorites

Description We are currently recruiting for our committee, known as the Event Leadership Team. Collectively, this exclusive group will work together with ACS staff and leverage its influence to increase partnerships and create opportunities for Walk & Roll Chicago around sponsorship, marketing, entertainment, revenue growth, and most importantly; the mission of the American Cancer Society. We meet once per month until the event on April 21, 2018. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more!

Impact Walk & Roll is the longest- running cancer fundraiser in the state of IL. Participants can choose between a 5k walk/run, 10k skate, or 15k bike followed by family-friendly activites in the park. This event honors our cancer survivors and caregivers. As an ELT member you will help raise the funds needed to help those affected by cancer in our local community. The money raised from this event provides wigs, rides to and from treatment, free or reduced lodging, funds life-saving research and more.
