Bands.
Coworkers by day. Rock stars by night. World-changers 24/7.
100+ million children living with disabilities in emerging countries cannot access care, isolating them from school and play. On October 22, Chicago takes to the stage to change that. Buy a ticket to rock with your peers or donate in their honor. Your support provides prosthetic limbs, orthotics, and appropriately fitted wheelchairs, giving CoolKids the freedom to move forward.
