City Chase Charity

Participants of The T-Mobile City Chase presented by BlackBerry Series are used to taking on various mental and physical challenges. City Chasers will also take on the ultimate feel-good challenge of raising funds for charitable organizations.

Charitable organizations will benefit both from exposure and proceeds generated throughout the City Chase Series. It is City Chase’s goal through charitable partnerships to bring as much laughter, adventure, and discovery to the beneficiaries of such charities. 

2010 City Chase USA Charity Partners:

The member benefits of Back on My Feet are not free – they earned through the currency of attitude, commitment, teamwork, respect and perseverance.

Participants of Chicago’s 2009 City Chase event raised over $30,000 for Special Children’s Charities.

“We are in receipt of the $30,000 donation to Special Children's Charities/Special Olympics Chicago. We were thrilled to have been selected as the beneficiary partner of your City Chase event, which was help throughout Chicago on August 25, 2007. This donation will allow us to enhance the programs enjoyed by nearly 5,000 Special Olympics Chicago athletes throughout the year at various Chicago Public schools and Park District facilities. On behalf of our board, our athletes and their families, we once again thank you for the significant difference your generosity will make in the lives of our athletes."
