#COMER5K RACE TOOLKIT |

HELP US HELP KIDS
In order to encourage participation from all who may want to join, the RBC Race for the Kids at Comer Children's is going hybrid this year, meaning we are back in-person October 16, but are still offering a virtual race option through the RaceJoy app. We need your help to fundraise for life-saving pediatric research at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital. Our #Comer5K race toolkit will provide you with the necessary tools to encourage your family and friends to help make a difference for kids.
HOW YOU CAN HELP KIDS IN 5 EASY STEPS:
1 >> Register for an event + create a race team! 2 >> Learn more about our previously funded projects. 3 >> Encourage your race team to keep fundraising.
4 >> Use one of our suggested posts on social to spread the word. 5 >> Have fun! You're helping kids.
