Participants of The City Chase Series are used to taking on various mental and physical challenges. City Chasers will also take on the ultimate feel-good challenge of raising funds for charitable organizations.

Charitable organizations will benefit both from exposure and proceeds generated throughout the City Chase Series. It is City Chase’s goal through charitable partnerships to bring as much laughter, adventure, and discovery to the beneficiaries of such charities.
