Spring Dog WashRun for Walk
Saturday, July 28

Last year, the inaugural Run for Walk welcomed nearly 1,000 Northwestern fans, supporters and friends of the late Head Coach Randy Walker, to honor the NU former head football coach. Once again this year, the 5k family walk will continue as part of the Run for Walk, a 4.1 mile run through Evanston’s tree-lined streets and along the lakefront on Northwestern’s campus. Participants will finish on Ryan Field while watching their achievement on the video board. The unique run distance harkens back to Randy’s uniform number 41 during his collegiate playing days at Miami University.

Registration fee for the run or walk is $37.50 (before July 15 at 9 a.m. Will raise to $40 after that point.) and includes a short-sleeved, purple technical shirt, a ticket to a non-conference home football game and entry into the race day fitness fest. Northwestern students may register for $22.50. The beneficiary of all proceeds is C.A.R.E. for the Evanston Animal Shelter, a local organization important to Randy.

Register for Run for Walk here.

Community DaysC.A.R.E. to Benefit from Spring Community Day on Central Street on April 27!

Do you really need an excuse to go shopping on Central Street?

This may be the ideal one. Community Day on Central Street is Saturday, April 27th. A portion of the proceeds from purchases made at participating businesses will be given to C.A.R.E.  You may ask, How does it work? 
It is as easy as 1-2-3. 
  1. Download the flyer from the Central Street Business Association Website (www.CentralStreet-Evanston.com, you will also see the participating businesses & benefiting organizations there)
  2. Circle C.A.R.E. on the flyer and bring it with you when you shop on Central Street on April 27th.
  3. Hand it to the cashier when you make your purchase and the money that this specific Central Street Business has agreed to give back will be Donated to C.A.R.E.  
Simple as that!  The more you publicize this event the larger the check that the CSBA will deliver to your organization.  Print out flyers for all your family and friends. Win – Win all the way around.  There is a wide variety of stores to choose from.  If you shop at more than one store, just ask the cashier for another flyer and you are back in business getting the most out of this special CSBA Event.  Do some shopping and get a great check for C.A.R.E.  See you there!

Happy Husky is also doing a food and supply drive for C.A.R.E. on Community Day. Please see our wish list for items they will be collecting! You can drop items off at the store or purchase items at Happy Husky for donation and C.A.R.E. will get the item and 15% of the purchase price! Thank you, Happy Husky!
