Support Team LVEJO in the Chicago Marathon

2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon – Team LVEJO!

LVEJO is proud to return as a charity partner of the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon and is excited to congratulate our fantastic team of runners this year! We had an amazing group of runners who have dedicated their 26.2-mile run to raise funds for LVEJO’s ongoing environmental justice and mutual-aid efforts that support frontline communities and families. The team has fundraised a total of $20,713. Our goal is to reach 30k to continue building upon our work in the community for water, air, land, energy, and food sovereignty. You still have the opportunity to donate on our Team LVEJO 2025 Fundraising Page. We couldn’t be more thankful for all the love and support shared for our team and organization!

Their fundraising efforts will go a long way to support…

Growing organic and locally grown produce in La Villita Park Community Farm that will be redistributed to families in the community and mutual aid programs,
Installing new air monitors in frontline communities to advance the collection of air pollution data that will demand policy changes to prioritize the health of these neighborhoods,
Hosting new cohorts for the Stewards of the Land (SOL) Youth Stewardship Program with new skill-building and professional development opportunities for youth leaders,
Generating new resources to address the urban flooding and water justice issues of Chicago,
Supporting a new cohort for LVEJO’s Solar Workforce Development Program that certifies students for jobs in the renewable energy field,
Advancing environmental justice policies from a local to a national level!
