ESPN Chicago Kap & J. Hood host David Kaplan will again walk 20 miles Thursday as part of an event for a Chicago charity.
Bernie’s Book Bank, a non-profit dedicated to increasing book ownership in under-served Chicago children, will host its third annual Walk As One Chicago event Thursday morning, as Kaplan and Bernie’s Book Bank CEO Darrin Utynek will walk 20 miles to increase awareness of the charity.
The circular path will begin and end at Guaranteed Rate Field, home of the Chicago White Sox, before stopping at other Chicago stadiums including Wrigley Field, DePaul University, the University of Illinois-Chicago, and various beaches along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Books will be given to students at Jahn Elementary School in Chicago during the fourth stop on the schedule.
To date, Bernie’s Book Bank has donated more than 22 million books to Chicago area children.
In 2021, Kaplan walked 24 miles with Utynek, raising $150,000.
