Special Gifts Theatre set to stage 5K run & 3K walk in Winnetka EDITED BY BILL MCLEAN THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
Winnetka-based Special Gifts Theatre (SGT) uses the stage as a platform to develop social skills, speech/language skills and self-confidence for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Erickson Woods in Winnetka (1643 Willow Road) will serve as the stage — a rather scenic, cavernous one, with nature taking care of the sound and lighting — September 30 to raise funds and awareness for the educational and therapeutic nonprofit. Community members are invited to either race in a certified and chip-timed 5K run or participate in a family-friendly 3K walk through the forest preserve at Erickson Woods. The event starts at 9 a.m. and concludes with a finisher party and performance by SGT’s Traveling Troupe. An awards ceremony is scheduled to begin at approximately 10 a.m. SGT students and peer mentors have been the eager forces behind the 5K run & 3K walk planning efforts. The students came up with the T-shirt colors, designed the logo and continue
