16th Annual Chicago Cares Serve-a-thon June 12, 2009

On Saturday, June 13, 8,000 Chicago Cares volunteers will paint, plant, clean, organize and build at 42 schools across our city.

In just one day, we will transform these under-resourced schools into bright, vibrant places for more than 30,000 Chicago children to learn and grow. In addition to being a transformative day of service, Serve-a-thon is Chicago Cares' largest fundraiser.

The Serve-a-thon is like a walk-a-thon, but instead of walking, volunteers serve and strengthen our communities and collect pledges for their efforts. Pledges raised by Serve-a-thon directly support our year-round volunteer programs. There are many ways you can be part of this big day of service!
