AIDS Run & Walk Chicago is the largest AIDS-based outdoor fundraising event in the Midwest. Since its inception in 2001, AIDS Run & Walk Chicago has raised more than $3 million net to fight HIV/AIDS throughout the Chicagoland area. In 2009, more than 200 Teams joined forces to walk, run, and raise money in the fight against AIDS. With your help, we can surpass our goal of registering more than 300 Teams and raising $500,000 net! The AIDS Run & Walk Chicago Course takes place along the city’s lakefront, featuring Chicago’s famous skyline. Whether your teammates decide to run or walk along this spectacular course, all participants will be provided with the official AIDS Run & Walk Chicago T-Shirt, Race Bib, entertainment along the course, pre and post event activities, as well as lunch and treats! What Organizations Benefit from AIDS Run & Walk Chicago? AIDS Run & Walk Chicago benefits the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC). AFC is the Midwest’s largest private source of philanthropic support for HIV/AIDS, a model of service coordination and Illinois’ principle advocate for people affected by HIV/AIDS. All event proceeds will be directed to the AFC’s grantmaking program, which has provided community-based agencies nearly $14 million in support since 1988. Members of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago’s (AFC) Service Provider’s Council also have the opportunity to benefit from AIDS Run & Walk Chicago through the CommunityDirect Program. CommunityDirect is an AFC program in which 100% of all money raised by an HIV/AIDS service organization team is returned directly to the participating agency. Since 2007, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago has returned more than $800,000 in fundraising to participating HIV/AIDS service providers throughout Chicagoland.

  • Inspiring and Preparing Young People for Success
    Inspiring and preparing young people for success 2017-2018 Mission Report Nathan Ziegler, principal of Hope Academy, and his students. Read his JA story on page 14. Dear Friends, As we reflect on this past year, we’re energized by what we’ve accomplished thanks to your investment. Junior Achievement has experienced incredible growth, innovation, and success. We’ve impacted more students, joined with more educators and schools, and partnered with more volunteers. We’ve piloted two new programs — JA Inspire and JA Meda Fellows — to equip students with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce and start a business. We inspired the creation of 74 student-run companies through JA Company Program, an increase of 23% over last year. We’re always looking for new ways to motivate young people to envision a successful future and to gain the skills needed to be contributing members of our community. Our partners are instrumental in keeping us relevant, innovative, and engaging! Today’s youth are our future; their success is our success. As we look forward, we’re excited by what’s ahead. In 2019, Junior Achievement will celebrate its 100th year. Very few organizations make it to 100 years, much less continue to grow and thrive as Junior Achievement has. Celebrate with us – watch our centennial video at https://youtu.be/fKAvHJ9vcek. Locally, Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest is also experiencing a milestone next year. We’re moving our experiential learning center to St. Paul. The Junior Achievement James R. and Patricia Hemak Experiential Learning Center will have two experiential learning labs instead of one, allowing us to double the number of students participating in JA BizTown and JA Finance Park.
