Being Present Matters

Communities In Schools of Chicago 2025 Annual Fundraising Event

Tuesday, May 6, 2025

At Communities In Schools of Chicago, we believe that being present matters.

It matters that students come to school, on time and ready to learn. It matters that they graduate prepared for continued success. It matters that our team is present, too, in schools – supporting our young people.

Join us at Being Present Matters, our 2025 Annual Fundraising Event, to show your support for our city’s young people and ensure they have the resources they need to achieve in school and in life.
