Break out your scrunchies, windbreakers, and fresh kicks — it’s time to walk it like it’s 1999! 
We’re excited to kick off a season of fun with the Friends & Family of South Loop School’s Annual 3K Walk-A-Thon & Pledge Drive — plus our upcoming Spring Benefit — and we need your help to make it all that and more!
Walk-A-Thon + Chicago Fire Game
Saturday, May 2
How You Can Help:
Register Your Child (It’s FREE!)
Sign your child up for the pledge drive and make sure they join their current grade team.
https://ffsles.dojiggy.io/c/walk2026
Bonus Challenge:
Grades that register 30 students AND raise $500 by April 9 will unlock an Out-of-Uniform Day on Thursday, April 10 (major win!)
Collect Pledges (Cha-Ching!)
Help your child’s team hit their goal by reaching out to family, friends, and neighbors. Big or small, every pledge supports our school’s programs and initiatives.
Show Up & Show Out
Join us on walk day — everyone is welcome to participate! Bring your crew and cheer on our students as we walk together to Soldier Field.
Walk starts at 5:00 PM
Stick around for the Chicago Fire match at 7:30 PM (optional)
Ticket options:
- Individual tickets: $40
- Family 4-pack: $140
Be sure to grab your tickets by April 24!
Level-Up Goal:
Grade teams that hit their $4,000 fundraising goal will unlock Out-of-Uniform for the rest of the school year — now that’s what we call iconic.
