We will hosted the Lucky 13th annual NO FRILLS FUN RUN. Thank you for your support! Meet Our 2024 Beneficiary Families
This year we will be welcoming **2** beneficiaries to the No Frills Family. We can’t wait to raise money for these families and wrap them in the No Frills love.
Family #1: Meet Milena Acquaviva… Giovanna (Gianna or Joanne) was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoma in April of this year, where she was admitted to the hospital. She fought so very hard and showed what strength truly meant. On September 14th she lost her battle. She was only 53 years old. She left behind her loving husband Paolo (49), Sabrina (25), Giovanni (23) Milena (13). Milena just turned 13 at the end of October. She is our “little sunshine”. She truly cares so much about others. She has a heart of gold and is just so kind. Our mom always said she’s the glue that holds our family together and it’s been proven to be very true during the past 6-7 months of our mom being extremely ill and passing away. Meet our 2nd Beneficiary family… Lauren, Charlie and Elizabeth Specht. Lauren, Charlie, and Elizabeth Specht lost their husband and father, Bryan, to suicide in October. Bryan was a passionate member of the Elmhurst football community and dedicated his time to causes surrounding the prevention of child abuse. Bryan loved nothing more than watching his children play sports, taking his wife to dinner, or meeting at Doc’s with a friend. Bryan lost his fight with mental illness but his years with his family were filled with love, peace, and light. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." |

THANK YOU!!!!
No Frills Fun Run is an annual charitable run that was started in 2012 by two moms in Elmhurst, Illinois. Each year, one local family in need is selected to receive 100% of the proceeds from all the funds raised across various fundraising events, the race registration and a rockin' after race party with raffle baskets and silent auction items.
The run itself is exactly as its name implies... "no frills". It's usually cold (and sometimes snowy!) outside but the incredible hearts of this community's runners, sponsors and volunteers make this one of the warmest events in town. The race takes place on the Prairie Path with a start and finish at York and the Prairie Path. The course option is a 5K distance, you can complete it twice for a 10K. You can also choose to run or walk a mile if that's more your speed! What matters more than the distance is your participation and support!
