While this event occurred in many cities of the US, the Chicago event was an event to be remembered. With an astonishing 1,200 willing citizens of the Chicago lands gave up their time to support this great cause, The Rapid Relief Team volunteers there assisted the event organizer, set up and start the day, as well as helped many other sponsors of the event set up and prepare for the participants.

Supporting 1,200 plus participants with water, general information, and guidance for the day, RRT was happy to participate in the event which supported so many people fight for those suffering such a disease.

Words from the event hosts: “I wanted to take a minute to thank you for volunteering for our 2015 Chicago Jingle Bell Run/Walk.  Your team was absolutely awesome!  I can’t tell you how much I/we appreciated your help and the very kind donation of water.  To date, we have raised over $150,000 through the event.  We hope to grow it even more in 2016!  I have received many compliments about our event this year, so thank you for your support! I hope you have a very happy Holiday season!”

Runners continuing after snacks

 RRT looks forward to assisting next time and will continue to show love, care and compassion to help the community in times of need. It was a privilege for the RRT volunteers to serve the Jingle Bell runners & walkers and many thanks for letting us participate in the event!
