Greetings DREAAM Team!
As promised, I am writing to share logistics for the Illinois Marathon, scheduled for April 24-26. DREAAM is a Community Racing Partner (CRP), meaning we are able to receive donations as participants register. It also means we need to be there to represent DREAAM! There will be a contingent walking the 5K, but you are welcome to walk or run any of the events!
DREAAM families, employees, your family members, and friends are invited to join the DREAAM Team when you register. Team members can promote their participation to family and friends to inspire others to donate to DREAAM on your behalf. Please note there is a second team for board members, so please look for my name- CRPs are required to have two teams.
To register, please visit this website:
You will be required to create an account if you don't have one already. There are two places to choose DREAAM as you register:
Here:

And Here:

Together, we hope to raise $2,000. Equally important is spreading the word in our local community about DREAAM by having big numbers at the 5K!
At the very bottom (under all the merch), there is a space to enter a discount code for DREAAM Team members. These codes will freeze the cost of participation as the marathon nears. In other words, these are the current prices, but you can register later and still get this price.
