To help fulfill Lipman Hearne’s 2011 mission to contribute to education-based causes, Rob Moore, Alexia Koelling, Tom Dahl, Elizabeth Weidenaar, Katie Greer, Jennifer Pollack, Ali Ferrell and Saraheva Monroe, from the Lipman Hearne Chicago office, participated in the 2011 Carrera de los Muertos.  An annual 5K event through Chicago’s historic Pilsen and University Village neighborhoods, the race serves as a fundraiser for local, after school programming.  This year, the organization’s annual race was held on October 29 and featured over 3000 participants. This additional support empowers local schools to provide additional tutors, coaches, uniforms and activities to students free of charge.

Check out photos of our team rallying behind their chosen team theme of “Heart + Sole” as they race to the finish and celebrate education at a post-race party that included Mexican food, mariachi bands, and dancing.

Visit the 2011 Carrera de los Muertos website to learn more about the event or to participate in next year’s race.
