Circle of Friends was happy to be a sponsor, for the second year, of the Leukemia Research Foundation's 12th annual ABC 7 Jim Gibbon's Run/Walk. The race took place during the evening of Thursday, June 15th in Chicago, IL. Circle of Friends sponsored the children's race bags and t-shirts. Each child who registered for the race received a special race day t-shirt featuring Natasha and Chehn! They also received a special kids goodie bag with Circle of Friends products. On the day of the race, Circle of Friends was there - along with stylists from Chicago-based salon Simon Says Salon - doing hair painting for the kids.
