Sometimes it can be troubling to give cash to a charitable organization. After all, you don't always know where the money goes and sometimes it's hard to imagine that your $25 contribution is anything more than a drop in the bucket. We are here to tell you that every penny counts. Off the Street Club is a living, breathing organization, growing every day along with the children who belong. Because of that, there will always be a long list of concrete items that the club needs; things like new musical instruments, more books, and funding for field trips to movies and plays. We, the Junior Board, think that you will find it much more joyful to aid us in our quest for something specific for the club than to just fill the bank accounts. In our inaugural year you helped us raise $19,000, with which we purchased a new 15-passenger van for the Club. A very special thank you to John Guido, owner of Arlington Heights Ford, who helped make it possible for us to purchase the new 2004 E-350 van at a reduced price. In our next campaign, we provide the club with new bicycles for the kids to enjoy during their summer days at Camp Mathieu. INSERT BIKE COMPANY HERE. In this, our 5th year. the Junior Board’s Capital Campaign will be collecting donations in hopes of providing the Club with a new bus. This is the largest purchase we have untaken but we are fully confident that with your support and the donations of many of those in the OTSCJB family, we can make this a reality. Check back often to see the progress we are making.
