North Shore Classic Charity Partner

Run for a cause and support your local community with the North Shore Classic Half Marathon and 5K benefiting race charity partner, the Highland Park Community Foundation.

For 33 years, the Highland Park Community Foundation (HPCF) has been dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all residents of Highland Park and Highwood. Through its Annual Grants, HPCF supports vital programs and services that nurture children, strengthen families, assist seniors, empower individuals with disabilities, foster leadership and academic growth in teens, enrich artistic experiences, and more. These grants address immediate community needs while also expanding opportunities for all residents.

In addition to its Annual Grants, HPCF responds to urgent and unforeseen challenges. Following the tragic shooting in Highland Park in July of 2022, HPCF established the Highland Park Shooting Response and Recovery Funds to support both the victims and nonprofit organizations aiding the impacted community. Similarly, in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, HPCF launched the COVID-19 Emergency Response Appeal to address the immediate needs of residents during this unprecedented crisis.

Individuals’ donations make all the difference in helping HPCF meet evolving needs and ensure that vital programs and services are available to those who need them most. To learn more, visit hpcfil.org or make a donation now. We greatly appreciate your support!
