Inaugural Illinois Games Raises $154K for JDRF
Some of Chicago’s leading commercial real estate companies came together at the inaugural JDRF Illinois Real Estate Games earlier this month. They raised more than $154,000 for JDRF, the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.
More than 150 of the city’s leading brokers, developers and property managers competed at FFC Union Station in sporting events that included dodgeball, a quarterback passing challenge, a spinning race, speed stacks and a weightlifting challenge. Team HFF was the Illinois Games’ first champion, and Team Pearlmark scored highest on fundraising. (Pictured is Team CIBC.)
The Illinois Games continued a tradition established in 1990 when Savills Studley’s Adam Singer founded the Games in Washington, DC. Since then, the JDRF Real Estate Games have raised more than $8 million for T1D research. The inaugural Chicago competition raised nearly double the amount garnered at the first year of the New York Games in 2016.
