Our IMPACT WILL EXPAND
TSG mission and impact continues to expand, yes with a lot of hard work, but also by allowing all of those involved or in support of this mission of bringing more good and positivity to the world to grow. We all like to do good. It helps others, it helps ourselves, and it helps our community be better than we found it. This Hunt for Good has grown over the years and the impact of the fundraiser, and TSG as a whole has continued to spread its wings. We see TSG traveling worldwide to spread good all over the country, and all over the world, through art and through students in need of this outlet. For kids to have the opportunity to safely and positively reflect on their lives and hardships through art and discussion is a true gift. For those that have participated in one of TSG art showcases to engage with these students, you’ve experienced this first hand. For those that have not, I highly recommend you join us next time to check this out.
The power of kindness and joy sounds cheesy when we talk about it, but it just never fails. Everyone wants to be heard, everyone wants to matter, and everyone wants to be included. Through listening, through volunteering, through attending a fundraiser or event…we all jump into the joy and kindness that nonprofits like TSG derive. It’s electric and contagious. I personally get my energy, joy, and happiness through my people, though. So rather than just me deciding to volunteer, join a fundraiser or event, I like to loop in my people: my family, my friends, my friends’ friends, and on it goes. The more cool people I get to expose to a broadened perspective of Chicago, give their time, treasure and talent to making our Chicago better…that’s a big Win because that’s a heck of a lot more impact than I could ever accomplish on my own.
That’s the name of the game friends, and that’s the whole point of why we all jump in through Chicago Reach. Learn, start as a fan, do whatever is it that we can, and bring our people together as collectively our impact expands. TSG does exactly that through fundraisers like Hunt for Good, and we love to be a support system for them in carrying out their mission. Hunt for Good raised thousands and thousands of dollars, all going to giving these students the means to express themselves and the good in their lives through art and discussion. That’s a cool thing TSG just did this past weekend, and we were a part of that. WE DID THAT. That was cool. On to today 🙂
