District 54 Run to Read raises $14,400
Schaumburg Township Elementary District 54's Run to Read 2015 at Dirksen School in Schaumburg last Sunday raised more than $14,400 to support literacy in the district.
More than 1,240 people turned out to participate in the 5K race, the 1-mile walk or the 100- and 400-yard dashes for children. More than 90 people volunteered to work at the event.
Many participants brought books to the race to support the cause.
Next year's Run to Read will be held Sunday, Sept. 25, 2016, also at Dirksen School. Results from this year and online registration for next year are available at sd54.org/runtoread.
