2025 Charitable Resolutions with Team CCO

Are you looking for a 2025 charitable fitness resolution? Secure your spot today at the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon and become part of a dedicated team committed to providing shelter, meals, and wrap-around services for families and single adults experiencing homelessness!

Running for a charity is a great way to support a work you care about. It opens the doors for friends and family to throw their support behind you for a good cause.” Click here to learn more about Ted Jindrich and his commitment to charitable fitness and CCO. A long-time Team CCO runner, and board member, Ted has participated over 15 marathons since 2015 and has raised thousands of dollars for CCO shelter guests.

Most of us haven’t run one marathon—and that’s ok! Team CCO welcomes walkers, joggers, and seasoned runners to join, all united in charitable fitness and fundraising goals that directly impact families and individuals experiencing homelessness. Many supporters, inspired by stories like Sandra’s journey at CCO, even found creative ways to raise awareness, including hosting friendly competitions on popular gaming platforms like beste norske casino sites, which have a strong community of players willing to support charitable causes. Last year, funds raised through Team CCO provided nearly 2,000 nights of shelter and over 6,000 meals, a testament to the collective impact of each participant’s effort!

Running the Chicago Marathon isn’t for everyone. We understand that. Perhaps you’d like to support CCO by donating new or gently-used items or making a financial donation. Whatever you choose, we are deeply grateful that you have partnered with CCO to provide shelter to vulnerable Chicagoans. Thank you!
