On October 8, Anthony Sam volunteered as a station aid at the 2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon 25th mile marker.  Anthony supported the marathon by encouraging the runners to make it to the finish line with a 25th mile marker rally cry, passing out water to the runners, and even cooking a pancake breakfast for the 25th mile marker volunteers.  The 2017 Bank of America Chicago Marathon raised more than $16 million to support more than 200 charities in the Chicagoland area.
