Help spread the word
Dear Supporter of Chicago Survivors,
Help reach our fundraiser goal to reach $50,000 which will allow us to provide a cost-free, healing summer camp to 50 youth impacted by homicide in Chicago. Chicago Survivors' summer Healing Camp program responds to the needs of youth impacted by trauma associated with the death and loss of a loved one due to violence, by providing a treatment-focused, and trauma-informed summer camp. The camp responds to the needs of youth impacted by the trauma associated with the tremendous loss of a loved one due to homicide using evidence based clinical interventions. Counselors needed for this work are experts in neuroscience and art therapy healing methods.
I'm asking for sponsors to help me reach their fundraising goal. Will you help by making a pledge per lap or a simple flat donation?
Thank you for all of your support and encouragement!
