The Bank of America Chicago Marathon launched its first-ever digital fundraising program called Footprints for Charity.   You can customize a digital running shoe tread with a personal image and tailored message at www.chicagomarathon.com/footprint. For each submission, Bank of America will donate $1 to your choice of one of 22 charities, up to a maximum total contribution of $50,000.   Then, on October 11 (race day), the final results of the fundraising effort will be announced and an additional $10,000 will be awarded to the charity that received the most submissions on its behalf.
