2 MIN READ – Join The Honeycomb Project at the 3rd Annual Holiday Cheer Challenge on Sunday, December 17, 2023. The event kicks off at Cloud Gate in Millennium Park and then small groups will descend upon the city in a scavenger hunt that infuses giving back with an unforgettable adventure.


Participants will race around downtown performing simple holiday-themed tasks that make others smile, such as singing carols at Cloud Gate and delivering thank you notes to city workers. The event wraps up at an awards ceremony and celebration.

The holidays are a time to give back – and there’s nothing better than doing that alongside family, friends and neighbors. Through Honeycomb’s Season of Service initiative, 1,000 Chicagoans are engaging in hands-on volunteer projects, contributing to supply drives and participating in the Holiday Cheer Challenge.

The Cheer Challenge enables families to get outside together, connect with the places they love and spread kindness! Funds raised will fuel Honeycomb’s year-round programs.  

For more than a decade, The Honeycomb Project has served as Chicago’s go-to organization for family volunteering. Honeycomb’s family-centered programs tackle global issues, such as food insecurity, housing, social justice and climate change, on a local level. Kids work and learn alongside their parents, preparing home-cooked meals at shelters, growing fresh vegetables at city farms, building nature trails along the Chicago River and more.
