September 25th is our inaugural Match Makers Multiplier Day, celebrating a culmination of our efforts to match every child on our waitlist!
Match Makers, our term for monthly donors, are a BIG deal. All monthly gifts add up over time and allow us to budget for the future to match more children in the Chicagoland area with mentors.
We are asking on that day for individuals to start new monthly giving plans or increase their current monthly giving plan. If that is not realistic for you at this time it is also a great day to give one-time gifts or simply spread the word to others in your network.
