Thank you to all of our Illinois legislators for your support of this Public Act. Your support of this important legislation means so much to our local children. We’re grateful to have local legislators who recognize the value of supporting this work right here at home.

ROYAL DRAMA ALERT!
Word around the castle is that the King is getting a little jealous… because our Queen of Hearts Raffle is stealing ALL the attention!

Don’t let the King’s jealousy stop you from grabbing your Queen of Hearts tickets and see if YOU can win the Queen’s heart—and the prize!

Get your tickets today for tomorrow's drawing.
