❤️ THANK YOU, EVANSTON! ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the NAACP Evanston Youth Council's journey to the 117th NAACP National Convention in Chicago!

A special thank you to our community partner FirstRepair, our sponsors Northwestern University Neighborhood & Community Relations and Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary #7186, and community donor Mrs. Head for investing in our youth and their future.

✨ Because of your generosity, our young leaders are one step closer to attending this life-changing experience.

🏨 We still need to raise $9,500 to cover hotel accommodations for our youth delegates and chaperones.

Every donation helps empower the next generation of leaders, advocates, and changemakers.
