Running for Possibilities

Center for Independent Futures celebrates its second year as an Associated Charity of Bank of America Chicago Marathon! Thank you to last year's runners for raising over $20,000 as a part of CIF's inaugural Marathon Team. We welcome back old and new supporters in our effort to raise more than $25,000 in 2008.

To support an individual CIF Marathon Team member, please select the runner's name from the drop down menu at the top of this page.

Center for Independent Futures is an Illinois-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving individuals with disabilities and their families. We create new models that give young adults the opportunities to realize full, independent lives according to their hopes and dreams. All proceeds from the Marathon Team go toward ongoing programming, products, and services.
