Event Details

Meet us at 8am at Hill Arboretum Apartments to grab your OTR t-shirt and head out at 9am for a 25-mile bike ride across our scenic North Shore route. A $60 registration fee is required for all riders and is donated to OTR's Resident Service Program. 

All riders along with their friends and families, OTR staff, supporters, and OTR residents are invited to a fun outdoor lunch with us at Hill Arboretum after the ride from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. This family friendly event will feature food trucks, a balloon twister and temporary tattoo artist along with music and games provided by 97.1 "The Drive" Chicago's Classic Rock station. We also are giving tours of our newly renovated Hill Arboretum Apartments. We can't wait to see you there!

Together we are supporting OTR's Resident Service Program

Our Resident Service Coordinators (RSCs) provide residents with invaluable on-site resources, guidance, and support.  RSCs link residents to existing services and resources in the community and help them to build an informal support network among themselves. This vital program encourages residents to be proactive in meeting their social, psychological, and physical needs.

Our RSCs help our residents to achieve their personal goals such as going back to school, gaining employment, gaining control of their health, learning how to budget, etc. to set up our residents for success.  OTR's RSCs have also formed partnerships with a multitude of local organizations to bring art, music, nutrition, and wellness programming on-site to increase the quality of life for our residents.
