The 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon raised a record $36 million for local, national and global nonprofits, bringing the total raised since 2002 to over $358 million. The event’s Charity Program allows runners to raise funds for affiliated causes while participating in the marathon.
“We’re excited to continue to grow this tradition and support the incredible work being done by so many organizations,” said Carey Pinkowski, Executive Race Director.
Among the standout fundraisers was Calr Allegretti, President of Arbos Investments, who shattered the fundraising record by raising $277,491 – more than $100,000 above the previous record. His funds supported Greater Chicago Food Depository, PAWS Chicago and Lurie Children’s Hospital.
Allegretti, a long-time marathoner, has used the race to raise funds for cancer research and Lurie’s since 2007 when his son was treated for cancer at the hospital. He completed his 70th marathon in 2024, marking the end of his marathon career with his monumental achievement.
Runners still have the chance to join the 2024 event by fundraising for official charity teams. Participants are required to raise a minimum of $2,100. For details visit the following link.
