The Illinois Physical Therapy Foundation (IPTF) is gearing up for its inaugural 5K, taking place on Saturday, October 2nd, 2021 at the Danada Forest Preserve, (3S580 Naperville Rd, Wheaton, IL 60189) from 9-11 am - as well as being a virtual event!
Our inclusive 5k allows anyone to participate, whether walking, running, or rolling. All net proceeds will help fund the new IPTF Minority Scholarship. Participant registration for our 5K is open.
Let's celebrate the 3rd anniversary of gaining direct access on our Day of Giving, August 16. Your donation on the Day of Giving supports the IPTF's mission! Your generosity is most appreciated.
Congratulations to Midwestern University for having the most contributions on 2020 #Giving Tuesday.
We look forward to this year's Midwestern University Student Challenge and supporting the IPTF & Student to Student Scholarship on #GivingTuesday, 11/30/2021. Thank you to all who supported the 2020 challenge!
THANK YOU FOR HELPING US CELEBRATE THE IPTA'S 70 ANNIVERSARY AND SUPPORT THE IPTF'S NEW MINORITY SCHOLARSHIP!
We had great participation in our 70 Miles for 70 Years! Run, Walk, or Roll Fundraiser.
We raised enough funds to purchase a paver to honor our 27 past IPTA Presidents as well as raise over $700 for the new IPTF Minority Scholarship. Registration to participate in the run is closed, but it is never too late to support the Minority Scholarship.
