First Ever Stair Climb a Success

Sunday March 21st 2010, marked the first "1,100 Steps to a Cure" (48 floors!)to benefit the Scleroderma Foundation, Greater Chicago Chapter. Although our 1,100 Steps to a Curenumbers were small, we were able to make some new friends and supporters of the chapter. We were also able to raise needed funds to support research, and our education programs.

We would like to thank Tishman Speyer, the management company at 161 N. Clark (Chicago Title Building) Everyone who helped with the set up and organization of this event was terrific. Thanks to Dave Brannigan, Property Manager and Mari Camilo, Assistant Property Manager. Without your help and support we would not have been able to do this event.

Thanks also to over 30 volunteers who came out bright and early to work registration, food, gear check, floor supervision, and timing. Your efforts are very appreciated.

Also, a huge thank you to board members Bob and Jean Kacick who initiated this event and secured the building space for us. Thank you for your support and all of your help getting participants. Thank you also to Board President Mike Robbins, who worked very hard to get participants and volunteered the morning of the climb. We would not have been as successful without everyone who helped out. We will raise about $10,000 from our first ever Stair Climb. Thanks to all!
