Thank you! Gracias!
In 1989 Alivio recognized the importance of healthy lifesyles, proper eating habits and exercise for overall fitness and good health and dedicated to focus on the youth of the community. As a result, the Alivio y Salud Run for Health was organized. On Saturday, May 21, 2011, the Alivio y Salud Run for Health celebrated its 21st Anniversary. This event, orginally the first of its kind to take place in the Community of Pilsen at Harrison Park during the month of May, brings over 25 Chicago Public Schools with over 1000 students. The race also brings out over 200 adults, parents, community members and dedicated racers.
Alivio Medical Center attends its heartfelt thanks to the committed sponsors for their support. This year's major sponsors were CocaCola Refresments, Sports & Ortho, Radio Vive 750 AM, EXTRA Newspaper, Lawndale News, Azteca Foods, Harrison Park, Pilsen Neighbors/Fiesta del Sol and the Chicago Fire. Thanks also to the support of Alderman Danny Solis.
We would also like to take the opportunity to thank the School Coordinators who dedicate so much of their time as well as this year's Co-Chair, Juan Soto, Run Coordinator, Marty Sanchez and all the volunteers who helped make this event a success.
Next year's 22nd Annual Alivio y Salud 5K Run for Heatlh is tentatively scheduled for May 2012. Hope to see you there and please visit us at www.aliviomedicalcenter.org for updates.
