Ways to Fundraise
Body
SkyRise
SkyRise Chicago challenges participants to conquer the world’s tallest indoor stair climb by foot or with hand power using a handcycle. You can sign up as an individual or with a team.
Run a Race
Is there a race you would like to run? Why not run as part of the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab team? We will make sure you are race day ready with branded gear and we will help you fundraise as you train.
In Lieu of Gifts…Support Ability for Your Birthday
You may reach a point in life when you feel more compelled to support a cause than receive gifts. If this sounds like you, perhaps you would consider asking friends to make a donation to the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab for your birthday, anniversary or milestone achievement in lieu of a receiving a gift.
Corporate Match
Does your company match donations? If you aren’t sure, start by asking someone in your Human Resources Department. Corporate match programs are wonderful ways for individuals to double, sometimes triple, their personal gifts through the companies for whom they work. For more information, please contact Sarah Borgeson at sborgeson@sralab.org.
