Description
Start with the run. Stay for the fun! The Naperville Professional Firefighters for a Cause and the Naperville Fire Department will be hosting the inaugural Stop, Drop and Run 5K Run/Walk to benefit the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance’s Camp ‘I am Me.’
This run/walk around the Public Safety Campus on Aurora Avenue will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 14, 2017. The Public Safety Open House will take place after the run beginning at 10 a.m.
The beneficiary of the walk/run funds, Camp ‘I Am Me’, is a special and unforgettable one-week camp experience for children and teenagers who have experienced injuries from burns. Camp ‘I Am Me’ provides the setting for child burn survivors to share their common experiences while being able to play and not feel self-conscious about their scars. Through the generosity of donors, supporters and volunteers, the IFSA offers this camping opportunity at no cost to campers; including lodging, meals, activities and transportation to and from camp (YMCA Camp Duncan- Ingleside, IL).
