The Annual Bob Leonard Walk has become an increasing popular event within St. Charles: combing a 5K race and a more casual walking event following the Fox River through downtown St. Charles, IL. This event is the primary fund raising activity for the River Corridor Foundation.

The River Corridor Foundation is a 501(C) organization dedicated to creating a lively river front environment in St. Charles. The foundations' goal is to provide the inspiration and initial financial leadership for the execution of the River Corridor Master Plan as developed in conjunction with the St. Charles Park District, the City of St. Charles and the Downtown St. Charles Partnership. Recent projects include providing the initial funding for the engineering effort to create the Bob Leonard Walkway along the west bank of the Fox River, just south of Illinois Street. Construction is anticipated for completing this walkway further south to connect to the newly re-designed Mount St. Mary Park in the near future. Current fund raising efforts are directed at creating the initial engineering design for the junction of State Street Creek and the Fox River (west bank of the Fox River immediately south of Salerno's).
