For The Kids.
Finding ways to help children learn, grow and be healthier has been a common thread in my personal and corporate philanthropy efforts. Kids don’t have the ability to change their conditions and opportunities on their own and through these organizations, we’ve had the ability to change the trajectory of many Chicago kids.
The Inner-City Education Program
Chairman of the Board of the 13-year old Chicago Blackhawks charity in Chicago. Our mission is to provide educational opportunities through the game of hockey to Chicago-area youth that may not otherwise have opportunities open to them. We have 30-children under scholarship and many more in our learn to play hockey program. Brent Seabrook from the Blackhawks is our title supporter.
Off The Street Club
Member, Board of Directors. There is a place in West Garfield Park, Chicago where, for a few hours each day, reality is paused for the children living in this neighborhood. Where feelings of worry and fear are replaced with laughter and joy in a safe place to play. It happens here, at Off The Street Club. And 3,000 kids are counting on us
Chicago Blackhawks Foundation
Proud to be an advisory board member for the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation. As the official charity of the Chicago Blackhawks, the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation is proud to bring hope to the communities that make our city so special. Our commitment is to provide access to the programming and funding necessary for organizations to make a positive impact. Our goal is to grow the game we love while giving the people we serve a chance for something greater. Our vision is a healthier, smarter, more secure world for families in and around Chicago.
