My wife and I, for the last several years, have made charitable donations in honor of our three daughters and families to the charities of their choice. Each daughter picks a charity that is meaningful to them in some way. Our eldest and her husband have chosen the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago for several years. In her own words, this is why…
“It has been my joy to teach middle school on the South Side of Chicago for the last 14 years. As a teacher, I’ve seen firsthand the painful impact violence, gangs, and other environmental pressures have had on my kids. The time after school is often the most dangerous for kids because that is when many kids do not have a place to hang out or something to do. That is why I am so thankful for organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago. By providing safe spaces and activities for kids after school, lives are not only changed but they are saved. Thank you for doing what you do—your organization is such a blessing and truly makes the world a better place. Thank you!”
