NU Athletics: Children of Chicago COVID-19 Fund
Donation protected
Overview:
The virus does not discriminate, but the reality is that COVID-19 will hit the poor and the marginalized the hardest. 1 in 3 children in Chicagoland lives in poverty and they need our help now more than ever. Because of this, the Northwestern University Athletics community is coming together to create a relief fund for the children of Chicago. All proceeds will be donated to the Emergency Essentials Fund for Cradles to Crayons Chicago.
About Cradles to Crayons:
Cradles to Crayons Chicago provides children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items they need to thrive – at home, at school, and at play. For 12 years and counting, Cradles to Crayons has earned Charity Navigator’s highest rating of four stars, certifying their commitment to accountability, transparency and responsible fiscal management.
For relief, this 501(c)(3) organization established the Emergency Essentials Fund to provide items such as new diapers, school and art supplies, hygiene products and other essentials to the children who need them to survive this crisis.
Why This Organization:
At Northwestern University, we care deeply about the well-being of local children in our community. This fund will provide school supplies, diapers, hygiene products, and other daily essentials to children in need. Vulnerable families are going to need assistance from Cradles to Crayons Chicago more than ever in the coming months. Educational materials and hygiene products are necessities that have not been provided by governmental relief funds.
Your donation will allow Cradles to Crayons to leverage their logistics expertise and bulk purchasing power to serve thousands of families in need, delivering essential resources to disadvantaged children in our community.
How You Can Help:
We are in this together. Together we can serve our most vulnerable populations and do our part to be a light amidst the darkness in our world right now. During this time people have lost their jobs and are out of work, but even a donation of $5 (or whatever you can afford at this time) would make a difference.
Many of us are in a position where we can worry about what show to watch or how to fill our free time. If this describes you, please consider donating to this worthy cause. If you are looking to increase your impact, please check to see if your company will match your donation!
If you are unable to make a financial contribution, there are other ways to help! By simply clicking the ‘share’ button, you can help these children in need.
Where Your Money Will Go:
Any dollar amount you can donate will support kids in crisis in Chicagoland.
All proceeds will be donated to the Emergency Essentials Fund to serve the immediate needs of children and their families who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Your gift to the NU Athletics: Children of Chicago COVID-19 Fund is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
