Season of Giving: Help children of workers seriously or fatally injured on the job educational opportunities!

What happens when a child loses a parent in a work-related fatality? How do families cope with a dramatic decrease in income because Mom or Dad cannot return to work due to an injury? In many cases, pursuing higher education seems unattainable. No child should be denied the opportunity to pursue education due to a lack of finances.

Kids' Chance of Illinois is the state chapter of a national organization that awards college scholarships to kids whose parents have either been killed or seriously injured in work-related accidents.

JOIN US IN SUPPORTING OUR FUTURE LEADERS AND GIVING OUR KIDS A CHANCE. THIS PICTURE IS FROM OUR LAST INDOOR EVENT IN 2020 AT ATHLETICO, PRE-COVID. KCOI RECIPIENT, DEVAN ARBAY, IS PICTURED HERE WITH ME AND RECENTLY OBTAINED HIS BACHELORS DEGREE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE. DEVAN SHARED HOW HIS FATHER'S INJURY IMPACTED HIS FAMILY AND THAT HE NEVER THOUGHT HE COULD AFFORD COLLEGE. NOW HE IS ACTUALLY PURSUING A MASTERS DEGREE.

COVID HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON OUR FUNDRAISING EVENTS AND I'M ASKING FOR OUR NETWORK OF SUPPORTERS TO STEP UP AND HELP OUR KIDS, LIKE DEVAN.

Join me in supporting real change. Your contribution will make a difference in the life of a child whose educational opportunities have been dramatically limited because of a serious or fatal work-related injury to a parent or guardian.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Kids 'Chance Incorporated of Illinois!

I will be fundraising the whole month of November and end on Giving Tuesday, November 30th!
