3rd Annual High Holiday Hustle Fundraiser

The High Holiday Hustle took place on Sunday morning, August 23rd, at Congregation Etz Chaim in Lombard, Illinois. 

In it’s 3rd year, the High Holiday Hustle is an event that brings a focus on the values of health and fitness to the Lombard and surrounding Communit  The event seeks to positively impact today’s active families while raising money for the Robert Scott Samuels Fund.

The High Holiday Hustle featured a 5K race and a 1 mile stroll and kid’s dash.

The run inspired much excitement amongst the families in attendance. 

Ronald McDonald gave plenty of high fives and took photos with the runners and walkers. 

After participating runners and walkers returned from the 5K and the stroll, Ronald McDonald announced the sounding-off of the kid’s dash.

After all of the racing was finished, participants enjoyed raffles, age group awards, refreshments and entertainment.  The children were able to enjoy face-painting and were also treated to balloon creations by Ryan Freeman of RC Juggles.  The McDonald’s Bounce House was also a big hit.

A big thank you goes out to the many sponsors of the 2015 High Holiday Hustle including the Bear Family McDonald’s of Lombard who provided the Bounce House and Ronald McDonald.

The money raised from the High Holiday Hustle goes to the Robert Scott Samuels Fund, which was established in 1975.  It provides many children the opportunity to go to Olin Sang Ruby Union Institute (OSRUI) - a URJ camp in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.
