The iCan Dream Center is dedicated to empowering neurodiverse students so they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
The organization provides much-needed services across the Southern suburbs.

The Center for Food Equity In Medicine works to ensure that individuals facing cancer and other life-altering conditions have access to the
nutritious food essential for healing and well- being. The organization provides free monthly groceries for more than 100 families across seven states!
Our goal is to raise $75,000 to directly support these organizations. Your support helps the people who need it most. We hope to see you there!
