Support Team LVEJO in the Chicago Marathon

2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon – Team LVEJO!

LVEJO is proud to return as a charity partner of the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon and is excited to support a fantastic team of runners this year! We have an amazing group of 12 runners who have dedicated their 26.2-mile run to raise funds for LVEJO’s ongoing environmental justice and mutual-aid efforts that support frontline communities and families. Their fundraising efforts will go a long way to support…

Growing organic and locally grown produce in La Villita Park Community Farm that will be redistributed to families in the community and mutual aid programs,
Installing new air monitors in frontline communities to advance the collection of air pollution data that will demand policy changes to prioritize the health of these neighborhoods,
Hosting new cohorts for the Stewards of the Land (SOL) Youth Stewardship Program with new skill-building and professional development opportunities for youth leaders,
Generating new resources to address the urban flooding and water justice issues of Chicago,
Supporting a new cohort for LVEJO’s Solar Workforce Development Program that certifies students for jobs in the renewable energy field,
Advancing environmental justice policies from a local to a national level!

Interested in Supporting the Team?

Check out Team LVEJO’s donation page! If you want to support a specific runner, you’ll be able to find them under the fundraisers and donate directly towards their goals – or you can choose to donate to the team’s goal as a whole! Every dollar raised makes a difference!

Join Us On Race Day at LVEJO’s Designated Cheer Zone

On October 8, 2023, LVEJO will have a designated cheer zone at the southeast corner of 18th Street & Sangamon, before the 20-mile marker. Join us between the hours of 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM to cheer on the team! We will have snacks, water, and bells available. Bring your favorite signs and show support for the runner in your life!

On race day, there will be multiple street closures. Please plan ahead and refer to the 2023 BACM Course Map to anticipate road closures and changing public transportation routes. With the street closures, there will also be limited parking. If planning to take the train, the Pink Line 18th Street exit will be the closest line.
