I am fundraising for the 8th annual Polar Peace March. Hosted by St. Pauls United Church of Christ, this event includes a moving worship service and a 1.4 mile march around Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. All proceeds benefit UCAN, a multifaceted social service organization serving over 21,000 youth and families each year. UCANs vision, youth who have suffered trauma can become our future leaders, is realized through their focus on compassionate healing, education and empowerment, which offers youth a sense of opportunity and hope for the future. UCAN believes that inspiring young people will help break cycles of violence, abuse, and neglect, and help them become advocates for change in their communities.
