Hey everybody! I am thrilled to participate in the Chicago Lights Associates Board October Challenge! During the month of October I am committing to running 30 miles...okay jogging! As most of you know, I loathe running, but am taking this challenge to bring awareness to Chicago Lights, an organization that's been near and dear to my heart since I became involved 5 years ago.

Over the past 5 years, I have been involved with Chicago Lights as a tutor and member of the Associates Board. I love walking into tutoring each week and witnessing first hand the positive impact Chicago Lights makes on the community. And tutoring is just one of the many programs Chicago Lights offers! Any support you can provide me with on this journey is greatly appreciated!

How your donations will help:

$10 provides educational books for a Tutoring student.

$25 provides a week’s worth of fresh produce from the Urban Farm for a family living in an under-resourced neighborhood.

$50 provides virtual Dance Academy classes and shoes for two students.

$100 provides hygiene kits with soap, toothpaste, and deodorant for 25 Social Service Center guests.

$150 provides backpacks with school supplies for three Tutoring students.
