Chiditarod VII is coming! - March 3, 2012

Chiditarod (ʃai*dit'*ə*rɒd): n.) the annual Chicago-based phenomenon that combines elements of the Alaskan Iditarod with Chicago's finest brand of debaucherous social activism. One part food drive, one part pub-crawl, one part costumed race, all parts radtacular. The Chiditarod draws together 800+ people, both participants and spectators, and has raised over 46,000 pounds of food and over $21,000 in direct donations since its inception in 2006.

Lonesome lost dog, meet your new team.

Don’t make us get Sarah McLachlan involved! We want to help lost dogs find good teams, without the pangs of guilt.  So, lonesome pups and teams needing members, please try any of the following to make things happen:

Donations to Growing Home are MATCHED!

OOO! OOO! Check this out- Growing Home has a MATCHING GRANT program.  This means you donate $20, Growing Home gets $40. You donate $250, Growing Home gets $500.  

Just think, for that $250 donation, you’ll supplement the cost of veggies for 60 families, furnish the supplies for 10 healthy cooking workshops, OR provide 5 kinds of vegetable seeds for the job training programs.  Pretty slick deal, if you ask us!  

Mushers & Volunteers, Go Forth and Fundraise.

Fundraising efforts have grown with every Chiditarod, trumping the results of previous years by epic proportions. Last year, teams & checkpoints raised over $18,000 in funds, and this year, we could hardly keep the masses calm until our 2012 charities were announced.
