Kids Going Back 2 School

This project will benefit all the Evanston community students, especially those who are under privileged and in need of extra support. 

The funds will be used to purchase backpacks, books and other supplies such as notebooks, papers, pens, pencils etc...

This is an annual event that takes place a couple of weeks before school starts in September. Generally, the funds are raised during our annual festival on the 4th of July. However, due to Covid-19 and CDC restrictions, the festival is canceled this year.  Therefore, the funds are needed by mid-July.

I grew up in a household where education was instill in my siblings and me as a pivotal part of being successful in life.  Providing support for children and their families to achieve success is at the heart of what I believe.   

I am always appreciative for the support I receive from sponsors, business community and local leaders.  I will be extremely grateful to be able to support the children, especially this year since the Pandemic has had a devastating impact on all of us.

Help us to reach Our Goals.
