Hello Team Captains!
First off, I would like to thank you for all your support at this year's
AIDS Run & Walk Chicago. With the beautiful weather and individuals
like
yourselves, we were able to raise over $300,000 to help fight complacency!
With all said, I would like to ask your help with an upcoming project called
Project KidCare. On Saturday, November 16th volunteers will be heading
out
to over 190 Jewel/Osco grocery store locations in Illinois and Indiana
to
provide families with children ages 1 to 12 a photo, fingerprint
identification, and statistical passports. I need your help to staff these
190 grocery stores! There needs to be two volunteers per Jewel/Osco from
10am-2pm on that Saturday. Please let me know if you are interested in
this
wonderful opportunity!
Thanks again for all your help this past weekend!
