 | On September 19th, 2017, representatives from Marshalls presented Gads Hill Center (GHC) with a $9,000 grant from The TJX Foundation to support our Junior Building Leaders program. Junior Building Leaders is for youth ages 5-12 in Chicago, and fosters a love of learning in STEAM subjects (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math), as well as provides comprehensive academic support and social-emotional mentoring for the whole family. |
The video below documents the check presentation, and includes words of thanks from Gads Hill Center's Chief Executive Officer, Maricela García.
Gads Hill Center thanks The TJX Foundation for supporting our youth programs since 2004. In the past year, TJX and Marshalls volunteers have completely refurbished the space used by teens in our Building Leaders program, providing new furniture and art as well as a fresh coat of paint. Their staff also donated gifts and much needed cold-weather clothing for families during our Holiday Wishes Toy Drive, as well as Easter baskets for youth in Junior Building Leaders, and a shopping trip to Marshalls for youth in last summer's Emotional Intelligence Camp.
We are grateful to The TJX Foundation and Marshalls for their deep and continuing investment in the families we serve.
