Tomorrow!!! Thursday, March 30th, CGS will be collecting money for a non-profit organization called "Love, Abby". This organization was started by Terri and Daniel in memory of their daughter, Abby. Abby was killed by a drunk driver on January 10th, 2015. Soon after that, Abby's sister, Brandy came up with the idea for their family to do an act of kindness in memory of Abby. Later, they decided to do bigger acts of kindness to help kids and eventually created "Love, Abby." Today, they work with DCFS and area schools to supply numerous items including, but not limited to; emergency bags, clothes and shoes, school supplies and book bags, Christmas gifts, hygiene products, and food. Hundreds of kids in our school system and area have received these supplies.
Each CGS student is asked to donate $1 (or more) and wear their favorite baseball clothing tomorrow!! We would love to have 100% participation!!
