Daniel Hickey's Story

I have been involved with the Big Shoulders Fund for around two years now.  While there are many great causes for all of us to support, I have chosen to get more heavily involved in BSF after seeing first hand the incredible impact it is making on so many children in Chicago.  These kids have so many gifts and talents and often only need the opportunity for a great education in a nurturing environment to more clearly define and, with the hard work that they are willing to put in, realize their potential and achieve their dreams.  I have seen the pride filled smiles of BSF kids who have gotten into their stretch goal high schools, who have excelled in the classroom and in academic and athletic competitions, who have won championships for their school's chess team, and who have gotten summer jobs to grow their skills and help their families.

In addition to the mission of the organization, I love that from the board, to executive leadership, and to the staff, the Big Shoulders Fund is as well and professionally run as any for-profit business I have seen.  Josh, Tim, and the whole team are inspired leaders who treat all stakeholders as valued members of the organization and the community and provide passionate stewardship of all BSF resources.

This campaign is about closing the digital divide.  Knowledge of and access to technology is, and will continue to be, a key differentiator in the trajectory of our youth.  Your support will go a long way toward ensuring that the kids of Chicago will have every opportunity to thrive for themselves and their families and then to give back to the next generation as you are so generously considering doing now. 

Thanks for your support!
