Supporters and Friends,

We are deeply saddened to share that our beloved co-founder and president, Shelly Tozzi, passed away early Monday morning. Shelly was a warm and loving soul who brightened the lives of every person she met. Her work on behalf of our community schools made her very happy. She leaves a husband, children, family, and countless friends and loved ones. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

In community,
Sarah and Chris

Christmas came fast this year! Where did the time go? We're extending our Hat & Mitten Drive through January 14th to allow for more donations after the holidays. Take care of your own families these last few days before Christmas and then consider helping our 46th Ward families with winter gear!

We've been touched by all of the donations we've received so far, but we haven't been able to promote our drive as usual this year. Due to some family emergencies that have pulled our attention away, we're extending our Fall School Supply Drive to allow more time to focus on spreading the word. We don't want our family emergencies to affect our 46th Ward students, so we're keeping the drive open a little longer. Drop off donations at Alderman Cappleman's office through September 16. Shop our Amazon Wish List or donate through Paypal (see more info on our website: http://46thwardschools.weebly.com/). School starts Tuesday, September 4, but there's still time to help our 46th Ward students prepare! Keep it coming!
