RUN IN YOUR PJs! Bob and Raue Center are keeping it comfy as we celebrate the 26th annual Bob Blazier Run. Roll out of bed and race in your favorite PJs and nightshirts. Bring a blanket, bring your teddy bear, and raise funds for Crystal Lake’s historic downtown theater! A STORIED HISTORY – 26 years and RUNNING!
Twenty-seven years ago, Mike Splitt stood up at a chamber of commerce dinner to announce that the chamber wanted to organize a 5K event in honor of Bob Blazier’s unparalleled community accomplishments.
Bob was to name a charity of his choice and he chose Raue Center For The Arts. Twenty-six years later, the event continues to grow and build community, just like Bob. For over 60 years, Bob has truly defined what it means to be a community-minded citizen. His dedication and commitment to education, healthcare, and building businesses is something to be celebrated and admired.
