Rock For Kids knows how important music is to the children we serve. We offer a consistent alternative to gangs and violence in some of the most underserved neighborhoods in Chicago. When our teachers see gang tattoos on eight year old students, or hear song lyrics written by a student expressing how she felt when her cousin was killed by gun violence, it has never been more clear why our programming is so important to these children.
The need for Rock For Kids has never been greater, and that is why Rock For Kids is happy to announce that we have been offered a matching grant by a private family foundation. Any new donation you make, up to $5,000 will be matched DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR by this foundation. It has never been a better time to donate!
