Move-tastic! pitches in.

Chicago-based moving company, Move-tastic!, lent a major helping hand to the Chicago Parks Foundation this year as an annual sponsor. One of the biggest pieces of any event planning puzzle is getting stuff from here to there and back again. Our small but mighty team learned from the experts at Move-tastic! to master seamless logistics for our events. We used the awesome Move-tastic! vans to reliably transport materials for all of our signature events including the Play for the Parks Golf Invitational, Run for the Parks 5K, and the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.

Move-tastic! also pitched in extra support for our It’s Your Park Day volunteer event when their own crew members personally delivered clean-up supplies to 45 participating parks. Nearly 300 volunteers participated in IYPD this year thanks to this effort.

Move-tastic!’s generous support took our 2024 year of events and programs to the next level. We appreciate their passion for helping people, their commitment to cultivating a strong team, and their fun energy.

Now they promise to deliver your belongings safely, while also delivering a side of laughter—because what's more terrifying than a couch stuck in a doorway?

Helping the Chicago Parks Foundation was an incredible experience! One of the highlights was assisting with the delivery of materials for It's Your Park Day.

It was a joy to see the vibrant parks and help the passionate people who care for them, making the day both fulfilling and fun.
