Through the years, there have been over 17,000 runners and walkers who have donned a Santa suit to participate in the Rotary Club of Arlington Heights (RCAH) Santa Run. They join family and friends to support their local and world community with every step they take.
Check out below how your Run/Walk donations make a difference to local charities in your community!
*Every November, we provide 75 Thanksgiving meal baskets to local families.
*We fund grants requested by local non-profits to meet the needs of young, elderly, disadvantaged, and special needs members of our community.
*Every year, we provide gifts to several under-resourced families for the holidays
*We also offer free eye exams and eyeglasses to about 30 local disadvantaged fifth graders each year
*This past spring, we filled dozens of Easter baskets for children who were living in a shelter that provides resources to families who are victims of abuse
*In a joint program with six other Rotary clubs, we provided hundreds of shoes to needy children in our area.
These are just some of the ways your Run/Walk donations help those who most need it in your community. Let's come together and make this event the best one EVER!
