Highland Park High School - Highland Park, IL -- Indoor Track

Since 1994, Highland Park High school has devoted the entire month of February to raising money for a charity nominated and voted upon by the students. This year, the students of Highland Park High School have chosen College Bound Opportunities.  College Bound Opportunities is a local organization that assists students with navigating the college application process. It provides services such as ACT tutoring, 1-on-1 mentoring, financial assistance for tuition to its scholars. Please read more about their mission here.

Each year, the Highland Park High School Boy's and Girls Track Teams combine their efforts to raise as much money as possible to contribute to Charity Drive. The 24 Hour Run is a 24 hour relay race in which members of the track team take turns running 1 mile at a time. The event takes place on HPHS’s indoor track for 24 hours starting at 9:00 am on February 12th and concluding at 9:00 am on February 13th. Our goal is to cover over 200 miles during the 24 hours of the relay and raise over $30,000. We ask that you become an honorary member of the HPHS Track Team by making a contribution to this cause. Any amount that you contribute will help. Donations can be made on a per-mile basis or simply a dollar contribution. You can donate online at the 24 Hour Run Website or give checks to a member of the track & field teams made payable to; Highland Park High School. The Highland Park High School Boys and Girls Track Teams, Highland Park High School, and most importantly those affected by this year’s charity are infinitely grateful for your generosity!
