A Huge Help

There are plenty of wonderful charitable organizations that conduct terrific work here in the states and, for that matter, around the world. Doctors Without Borders, the United Way, Lions Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, the March of Dimes are but some of the more well know organizations out there. Many philanthropic organizations often fly below the radar when it comes to the good that they do for others.

One such organization of this caliber that assists Schools Count is Kid4Good. Just last week this group donated 200 new spiral notebooks to our cause which seeks to provide students, who often go without essential classroom supplies, with these critical resources as the school year has commenced in the Chicagoland area.

Kids4Good is a huge supporter of our 'Go Green' endeavor which provides recycled student supplies to CPS schools. This organization often provides volunteers for many of our initiatives throughout the year. To this end they have been by our side these past years.

Kids4Good is also fundamentally responsible for helping to rebuild the IMN School in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake. Over the years Kids4Good has provided school resources, medical supplies and clean water to the children. Recently, Kids4Good just raised $10,000 to provide IMN with a brand new toilet system.

A new school, clean water, medical supplies, school resources and a modern toilet system...pretty incredible. Talk about a charity that makes a difference. Kids4Good may not attract international attention and dollars but its work sure merits our heartfelt thanks. Thank you Cynthia McGann and Mary Beth Owano!!
