Why I'm running for #TeamSCC
Please take the time to read this :)
Since 1969, Special Children’s Charities has been the driving force behind inclusion and empowerment for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Chicago.
There are many reasons you should contribute to Special Childrens Charities. One being the fact that we are donating to an amazing cause. The donations cover meals, awards, t-shirts, and much more for the children and adults to go out and have an athletic fun time.
They offer a variety of athletic, educational, and life-enriching programs designed to inspire participants to achieve their goals. Their initiatives include sports programs, art therapy, and community engagement activities, all aimed at fostering personal growth and community involvement.
Special Children’s Charities aims to transcend boundaries and redefine possibilities by serving as a symbol of empowerment and inclusivity within both the disability community and the City of Chicago.
