'Tis the Season of Giving! Join me in support of Kids Chance of Illinois. The Mission: to provide educational opportunities for children who've lost a parent / caregiver to a work related accident.!

What would happen to your child should the unthinkable happen, and you, their mother/father suffered fatally in a work-related incident?

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 unrealistic.

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.

I recently became involved in Kids' Chance and even more recently have joined the board to help accelerate the growth and spread of this wonderful organization's mission. Our future is with our kids and we need to make sure that we provide them opportunities...especially those that might not have a parental figure to take care and guide them in life.

That's why I created a fundraising page - to support Kids' Chance of Illinois and our season of giving campaign.

This is 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.

Every donation goes a long way to helping us surpass the goal above - to raise $1,000 for Kids' Chance of Illinois!

We have 3 weeks....the campaign ends on "Giving Tuesday" which is November 30th! I made the first donation....who's next?! :)
