The Linus Foundation Chicago Chapter was established in 2007 and has been dedicated to impacting the lives of underprivileged and disabled children in the Chicago area over the last two years. Linus Chicago has donated care packages to homeless shelters all over the Chicago area, giving hundreds of misplaced children a blanket, a bear, and a children's book to make it a little easier to sleep at night. Linus Chicago has also partnered closely with Dreams for Kids here in Chicago in order to give disabled children their wish of participating in sports they never thought they'd have a chance to play. We look forward to continuing to spread our reach to children in Illinois and we could use your help. Please contact us if you would like to know more about how to get involved!
