WE’RE COMING BACK!!

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 10TH we are running and walking. Come join us at the train station to kick off the 9th annual Jane’s 5k. Time to call up your family and friends and plan a fun get together. We will have music, prizes and a good time.

Jane Caliendo Memorial Foundation hopes to raise funds to provide scholarships to Sandburg athletes as well as providing resources to Orland Park and the surrounding community.

The Jane Caliendo Memorial Foundation will once again pledge part of our net proceeds to the University of Chicago Medicine.  More specifically, to the clinical research performed by Dr. Blase Polite.

All runners will be chip timed by Its Race Time, Inc. and your results will be streamed live during the race.

We encourage you to register for this event by August 26 to guarantee your t-shirt and size.  If we receive your registration after that date, you will not be guaranteed your t-shirt size.

Race Day Registration will be from 6:30 a.m. – 8:00 a.m.  If it is a beautiful morning, we encourage you to come out early to register and avoid the crowd!

Registration to open soon.

 In the meantime, check out our Facebook Page or get a head start on donating.

THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING VIRTUAL

Although we will not be having the event in person, we still have a lot in store for you. Social Distancing will not keep us from having a great time this year.

Please consider registering and continuing your support of our cause.  All registrants receive a commemorative face mask.  Look back for information on how to get your race goodies. Registration will remain open until the scheduled race day (September 13th, 2020).  At that time, all registered participants will have the opportunity to complete a 5K in the safety and comfort of their own neighborhood.  You will receive an email that day with instructions on submitting your time.  You will then be ranked and scored much like a traditional run!  You can do your 5K on September 13th, or you will have 1 week to complete the 5K on your own.

The Jane Caliendo Memorial Foundation hopes to raise funds to provide scholarships to Sandburg athletes as well as providing resources to Orland Park and the surrounding community.

The Jane Caliendo Memorial Foundation will once again pledge part of our net proceeds to the University of Chicago Medicine.  More specifically, to the clinical research performed by Dr. Blase Polite.  Dr. Polite specifically treated Jane through her illness and the Jane Caliendo Memorial Foundation, in appreciation for all that Dr. Polite did for Jane, would like to support his innovative research in his battle against colon cancer.

The Jane Caliendo Memorial Foundation is a non-for-profit foundation which strives to provide resources to Carl Sandburg students and surrounding community so that more warriors with the Jane Caliendo spirit, pride and purpose can be fostered through high school and given the skills, resiliency and pride to make a difference in our community as adults.

Even though we won’t be together this year, we hope you will consider signing up and participating or donating to our event.  Thanks to all of our past participants and sponsors over the last 5 years; we can’t do this without YOU.

Hey Everyone!!!!!

Don’t forget to sign up for out annual 5k walk/run. It will be here before you know it. Bring your family and friends to this fun event.

DON’T DELAY SIGN UP TODAY!!!!

All of us from the Jane Memorial Foundation would like to thank all of you for helping us raise money and keep the spirit of Jane alive. The 3rd annual Walk/Run was another success on a gorgeous day. We had a wonderful turn out of family and friends both old and new. The showing from Carl Sandburg was amazing with students who never got the chance to meet Jane stepping up and organizing teams for the race. That is a perfect example of the Warrior’s Spirit.

To find your race time (runners only) please go to IT’S RACE TIME!!! 

We would like to congratulate this year’s male winner Ethan Miranda-Gale and our female winner Alexandra Holdefer. Everyone is a winner though as everyone showed pride, determination and support for their community and this foundation. Please look to our events page for all of our age group winners and congratulate a friend.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE; WE CAN NOT CONTINUE THIS WITHOUT YOU. 

WE CAN’T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR
