Welcome to my 2020 Heroes Challenge fundraising page!
Hi Friends, this year, Swoon is participating in The Heroes Challenge to support Mercy Home for Boys & Girls by doing an internal employee fitness challenge. Each internal organization will complete various fitness challenges between now and October 11, 2020 as a part of a fundraiser for this charity. I’m a part of Swoon’s new business development team and our fundraising goal is $750.
What is Mercy Home? Mercy Home is a therapeutic home for children in crisis in Chicago. Many of their kids have experienced traumatic events in their lives, and Mercy Home provides them with a safe home, individual and family therapy, academic assistance, afterschool programs and helps them to secure internships and job opportunities.
We know this is a challenging time for everyone and your donation of any amount will go a long ways.
Why I am raising money for Mercy Home?
Since 1887, Mercy Home has saved thousands of young lives from environments marked by neglect, abuse, and despair. With our help, Mercy Home is able to give our kids the chance to not just survive but thrive. Mercy Home provides guidance for healing and growth, support to get caught up in school, and the tools to build a successful and self-reliant future. Last year alone, Mercy Home served more than 1100 youth and families through their residential, aftercare, mentoring, and referral programs. And because Mercy Home is more than 99 percent privately funded, the support of people just like you and me is critical to our mission. I am completing this challenge to ensure Mercy Home will continue to have the resources it needs to create brighter futures for these kids. As Mercy Home Heroes, we believe no distance is too far to save a child.
