Title
Carl Sandburg High School Athletic Boosters Club 5K
History
The Carl Sandburg High School (CSHS) Athletic Boosters Club has submitted a Special Event permit request to host a 5K Run/Walk for the Carl Sandburg High School Booster Club on September 13, 2026, at Centennial Park utilizing the park's paths. The run will kick off and finish in the 153rd Street Metra parking lot. Set-up will begin on Sunday, September 13, 2026 at 6:00 a.m. Clean-up will begin immediately after the conclusion of the event.
Organizers are working on specific event components. All event logistics will adhere to Village guidelines, be reviewed and approved by the Village in advance of the event including participant parking, event security, police and/or Community Service Officer requirements, sound amplification limits, Village permit and fees.
The walk is open to the public and is expected to have 200 participants.
Consistent with other Orland Park based non-profit organizations hosting events in Village parks, staff propose waiving fees for trash cans, barricades, the moving fee and temporary sign fees as estimated below.
Fees include
Deposit: $300
Moving Event Fee: $300
*Barricades (5): $50
*Garbage Can Use: $50 ($5/can)
*Temporary Sign: $200 ($40/sign)
*Inspection fees: $100 - $300
CSOs: $40/hr
*Estimated - event logistics have not been fully developed
If inspections (i.e. tents, electric, food), or CSO's are required, the Village will incur personnel expenses. These then will be assessed to the event organization. Providing trash cans and barricades can be provided by Athletics Division staff scheduled to work the weekend. The $300 Moving Fee is a permit assessment fee; the sign fee is a per sign assessment fee.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Athletic Boosters Club, with a portion going to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
Financial Impact
Waiving fees will total an estimated $600 - $900 reduction in fee revenue.
