RUN TOUGH FOR TEAM OWEN — SEPTEMBER 12
Join fellow Oak Park/ River Forest area family and community for Run Tough for Team Owen on Saturday, September 12 & the annual Team Owen Block Party on the 900 block of North Grove from 11 a.m.–7 p.m.
Team Owen honors Owen Petrzelka (big brother to 5th grader Sydney and 2nd grader Wyatt) who was diagnosed with DIPG, an aggressive pediatric brain cancer, at age five. Owen passed away in 2020, but his incredible spirit, strength, and infectious joy continue to bring our community together while raising critical funds for DIPG research through the ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation.
Run, walk, bike, or join the fun from anywhere — and celebrate at the block party with food, music, activities, and plenty of Team Owen spirit.
