2022 Results
2022 was a record-breaking year for fundraising by the Run 4 Dray. Our signature events, the 2nd Annual Run 4 Dray 5k/1 mile run/walk at Donovan Park, and the Kids' Cancer Benefit Party at Clink at the Pabst were well attended and fun for all. We also collaborated with OSF HealthCare Foundation and RSM US Foundation by sponsoring the gala dinner and charity auction at the OSF/BMW Golf Classic held annually at the Country Club of Peoria.
