Cubs Charities invests in people, places, and programs to level the playing field for Chicago’s youth.

It is the official philanthropic arm of the Chicago Cubs, committed to leveling the playing field for youth across all 77 Chicago neighborhoods. Through strategic community investments and free sports-based and academic programming, Cubs Charities has invested over $53 million since 2009, positively impacting approximately 400,000 youth and families each year while supporting more than 100 local organizations. From renovating neighborhood fields to mentoring future leaders, Cubs Charities transforms the power of a historic sports brand into a lasting force for good. 

A portion of funds raised from Race to Wrigley 5K Charity Run supports Advocate Children’s Hospital.
