As part of the PLUS Foundation’s 2015 Chapter Charity program, a volunteer event took place on June 9th. Volunteers cheered the runners to the finish line and participated by running in the race. A check for $3,500 benefiting Special Olympics Illinois was presented to representatives from the organization.
