Hi Everyone - I am participating in the Ricky Birdsong Memorial  5K -  20th Annivarsary Race Aganst Hate. I am walking and hope you will support my entry by making a financial contribution to the YWCA. 

IF YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE A DONATON, PLEASE DO SO IN AN AMOUNT NO LARGER THAN $5 OR $10  

The Race Against Hate was founded in memory of Ricky Byrdsong, former Northwestern University Basketball Coach, Vice President of Affairs at Aon Corporation, and Skokie resident who was murdered by a white supremacist on Friday, July 2, 1999 while walking in his Skokie neighborhood with two of his young children. On the same day, the shooter wounded six Orthodox Jews in Rogers Park. Over the subsequent weekend, he killed a Korean American graduate student in Indiana and wounded an African American minister in Decatur before taking his own life.
