The Annual Kilbride Family Classic has grown from a field of 100 participants in our first race in 1996 to 651 in 2008.  Financial support (donations) continues to increase as well.  Due to the generosity of family, friends, and community members, we raised $6000 in 2005, $8000 in 2006, $10,000 in 2007 and $15,000 in 2008. You may choose to donate to Autism Speaks or to The Kankakee Valley Chapter of the Autism Society of America.    

 

The Kilbride Family Classic also features a "Children's Run for Kids" ages 10 and under. Each child participating will receive a t-shirt and special recognition.

 

All Participants will Receive an Award!

Brothers and sisters, moms and dads, cousins and in-laws, aunts and uncles, friends and neighbors, co-workers and employees…these are just some of the people you can recruit to be on your Kilbride Family classic team.  Your incentive: the team with the most participants wins a great prize!

 

Our grandson Scott, now 15 yrs old, has Autism.  Scott has made much progress, but he has much further to go. Let us join together to be proper stewards. Let us turn our hope into work, and turn our work into dreams restored. Together we will find a cure!
