DeKALB – If you enjoy Mexican food and building confidence in young girls, a fundraiser slated for Tuesday has your name written all over it.
Half of the proceeds from sales between 4 and 8 p.m. Tuesday at either local Chipotle Mexican Grill, 1013 W. Lincoln Highway or 2383 Sycamore Road, will go to support Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois, as long as you tell the cashier you'd like to support the case.
Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois is an after-school running program through which girls in third through fifth grades train for 10 weeks and participate in a 5K race. The program also promotes such values as self-esteem, confidence and cooperation.
DeKalb County Coordinator Jessica Eber said the organization needed $15,000 to cover participation costs for girls last year.
