Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze To Raise Funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities® Of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana

Chicago, IL (March 17, 2009) – Can you feel Spring and warm weather upon us, do you find yourself dreaming about some warm summertime fun? Mark your calendars and kick off those summer activities with the Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze taking place Saturday, June 6th, 2009 in Chicago, Illinois. Promising another remarkable event for the city of Chicago, the Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze is delighted to once again partner with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana---last year, the event generated $25,000 in donations! All donations from this event will support the building of the world's largest Ronald McDonald House® near the Lurie Children's Hospital when it opens in 2012.

The Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze is Chicago's largest outdoor classic car cruise. The cruise is a rare opportunity for cars of all makes, models and vintage to tour around picturesque Grant and Millennium Parks. THE TENTATIVE ROUTE: Cars will follow Columbus Drive south to Roosevelt Road, over to Michigan Avenue to Randolph Street, and then back to Columbus Drive. The cruise route starts on Columbus near Buckingham Fountain. Thousands of spectators are again expected to line the cruise route that includes many of Chicago's most cherished attractions including the Art Institute, Millennium Park and beautiful Grant Park.

The Chi-Town STA-BIL Kruze is committed to Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana as its charity sponsor. We hope to have car owners; friends and clubs to pledge money for their historic cruise along the magnificent route near Grant Park. Last year, $25,000 was raised and donated to the organization benefiting families of sick children.
