Donations to B2B can help us purchase a building and get the necessary furniture, supplies, and equipment without incurring any debt! We need your help to raise $700K and move CHESS out of the basement!
Thanks to generous donors like you, we have raised $10K so far and have been awarded a $10K grant from the Vela Education Fund before launching this campaign.
Even a contribution as small as $1 can significantly impact the lives of kids on the Southside of Chicago! Check out our thermometer to see how much has been donated so far - let's make this move a reality!
