Simple People, Doing A Simple Thing

All summer long we chased good vibes around the city of Chicago & loved every second. At the heart of our adventures as a love for both the music & backstory of Chicago's own Chance the Rapper. Silly as it may sound the man behind 3 gave us more than just a desire for no problems or a desire to ask for a dance, he gave us inspiration that one person, one group

of people can make an impact on their hometown if they just care enough to . We've decided to take ours in the form of a flash mob of goodness (we'll break that down for ya don't worry). It's the streets on which we run, it's the spots we eat & play, it's the stadiums our heroes own, and it's the stages our idols rock out. We BELIEVE in this city & we BELIEVE that everyone in it deserves to be warm on a cold winter's day. It's really that simple. Yea, but no, like what are you DOING though....

On Saturday December 16th we are going to load up some cars with our friends and cruise to random bridge locations throughout the city. We will jump out and provide donated coats to the homeless people who reside under them, wish them a great day, then go repeat until we run out! That is where YOU COME IN :)

We.Need.YOUR.HELP! In order to pull this off we're asking anyone/everyone we know for that random coat at the end of your closet, the one that doesn't fit because either or . Everyone has a spare jacket that's not going to be put to action this winter and we want them all!!! We'd like to collect as many as humanly as possible before 12/16/17 and get them into the hands who need it. If you don't have a jacket, but want to help we'll gladly take $5/$10/$20 and use it at our local Goodwill store(s) to purchase and then give that away. ~~~We firmly believe that you don't need to be a 501c3, school, or religious group to make an impact. You can just be a good person with other good people and get it done.~~~

Simple People, Doing A Simple Thing

What started out as a summer of exploration and music turned into something much greater. At the heart of our adventures is a love for both the music & back story of Chicago’s own Chance the Rapper. Silly as it may sound, the man behind 3 gives us more than just a desire for no problems or a desire to ask for a dance, he gave us inspiration that every person can make an impact on their hometown if they just care enough to take that chance. This city is more than just the place we pay taxes to, it’s home. It’s the streets on which we run, it’s the spots we eat and play, it’s the place our inspirations derive from, and it’s the stages our idols rock out. We BELIEVE in this city and we BELIEVE that everyone in it deserves the chance to pursue their own dreams!

Yeah, but no, like what are you all DOING though….

What that first paragraph didn’t answer your question? Fair enough. If you navigate up top and click those lil Act I and II buttons you can brush up on where we’ve been. Acts I and II were possible solely because of the kindness and loving hearts of those who pick up what we’re tying to lay down. Acts III – C will follow that same logic. Our goal is to simply serve as the BRIDGE between people who are doing dope things, people who have an interest in supporting such things, and most importantly people in need. We firmly believe that you don’t need to be a massive 501c3, school, government sponsored agency, or religious group to make an impact. You can just be a good person with other good people and get it done. We’re hoping to prove that theory as a charity in Chicago and would love for you to be a part of it
