Kids4Good Pitch In!

Non-profits do amazing things for others throughout the world. Often these charities combine forces and they have even a greater impact. That's the case with our friends at Kids4Good (www.Kids4Good.org).

Under the leadership of Cynthia McGann and Mary Beth Owano Kids4Good has had a powerful impact on helping the children at IMN School in Haiti. They have been assisting this school prior to the Jan. 2010 earthquake and they have taken a lead role in rebuilding the school since that fateful day.

Aside from all of their work with IMN, Kids4Good has assisted Schools Count Corp with our 'Go Green' initiative. I want to thank everyone associated with Kids4Good for continuing their efforts in Haiti in addition to coming to the aid of Schools Count.

Once again this year, like last year, Kids4Good will participate in our 'Go Green' endeavor which involves collecting 'gently used' student supplies at the conclusion of each school year.

This year, under the leadership of Mary Beth Owano, Mark Delay Elementary School, Lace Elementary School and Eisenhower Jr. High will be donating student supplies at the end of the year. I want to thank the students, staff, parents and Kids4Good for helping us get supplies to those deserving students in Chicago Public Schools.

As I said earlier, when charities combine forces they do amazing things! Such is the case with Kids4Good and Schools Count Corp
