500+ supported those with disabilities at Clearbrook's annual walk/run in Arlington Heights

Over 500 people participated in Step It Up for Clearbrook on September 18, 2021, raising over $85,000. Clearbrook's third annual 5K run or one-mile walk was held in person at Cronin Park in Arlington Heights. Participants could also choose to complete the run/walk virtually.

The support of the participants means that Clearbrook's 8,000+ adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities have access to everything they need. This includes personalized services, centrally located and well-maintained facilities, activities, transportation, clinical services, and so much more.
