The Scarecrow Scramble is the foundation's biggest fundraiser of the year. The nighttime event held on the 3rd Saturday in October, is a USATF certified race which winds through slightly hilly paths of Community Park lit gently by luminaries for safety.

A bonfire, costume contest, raffle, and hayrides make it an enjoyable fall family event and all proceeds benefit Partners for Parks and Character Counts in Lisle.

Now in it's 5th year, the Scarecrow Scramble is a sanctioned race approved by the Chicago Area Runners Association which stands for quality and safety and denotes a premiere running experience for the most avid runners and race participants.
