About the Event
Welcome to the second annual Summer Dash 5K to Mpower students in community schools. This event will take place through the inner streets of Marquette Park located on 6743 S. Kedzie Avenue, Chicago Illinois. We also hope you will stay for the awards ceremony and a celebratory dance off near the finish line! All Summer Dash 5K participants will receive a short-sleeve race t-shirt and goody bag.
About Metropolitan Family Services- Community Schools Program
Thanks to the 21st Century Community Learning Grant, the Community Schools program brings together the academic and social supports needed to ensure that all students succeed by offering activities before and after the school day and on weekends for students and their families. Programs are designed to support the schools' academic goals and expand the services offered within the community. Services offered at each community school vary, but most community schools provide a combination of academic, enrichment and sports for students, adult education- such as English as a Second Language, GED, Zumba, student and adult technology training, art, recreation and health services. Unfortunately, funds do not extend to provide students with summer opportunities. Funds raised in this inaugural event will benefit 7 participating community schools’ summer programming (Dawes, Durkin Park, Hernandez Middle School, Hubbard High School, Pasteur, Stevenson and Tonti). Help us keep our students safe and involved this summer by running to provide free programs this summer!
