"Ding, Ding, Ding!"
This year, we are on "N! 'N' for Asthma Nation Team!"
And, thanks to many of you, we've just hit our goal for donations & pledges of $3.5K!
These generous donations to the American Lung Association of Illinois directly help to support Super Saturday Asthma Day Camps, aligned with our school districts!
IMPORTANT! Ask me about getting your child's school involved!
