One of Chicago's longest-standing runs returns for its 28th year this summer.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Leukemia Research Foundation, a Chicago-based nonprofit dedicated to conquering all blood cancers by funding promising research and providing critical support services to patients and their loved ones.
The ABC7 Gibbons 5K Run and 3K Walk consists of a chip-timed 5K run and a 3K walk, followed by a party in Grant Park with food, refreshments, music, and partner tents. Named after the legendary ABC7 reporter Jim Gibbons, the event has raised nearly $2M since 1995 to help fund critical medical research for blood cancers.
"We're proud of our association with the Leukemia Research Foundation and the positive impact they continue to have in the fight to find cures for blood cancers. There is no better way to honor the memory of our colleague Jim Gibbons," said John Idler, ABC7 president and general manager. "We are grateful to ABC7 Chicago for their support and for partnering with us on this event year after year. More than 35K people in the Chicago area are currently living with a blood cancer, and this event is a great way for everyone to help," said Kevin Radelet, the executive director of the Leukemia Research Foundation.
