Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Health

Just in time for the start of the Winter Program Session registration on December 9th and 10th, the Chicago Park District announced CVS Health will be providing the Chicago Park District’s Financial Assistance Fund with a $40,000 grant. The Fund provides economic support to kids unable to pay for after-school programming. This generous gift will give over 570 kids an opportunity to engage in recreational and educational activities while enrolled in our park programs across the city. This donation is crucial to leveraging the Park District’s resources and providing access to opportunities for our youth in communities citywide. CVS Health presented the Chicago Park District with a $40,000 check on Thursday at Tuley Park and engaged after-school program participants in a series of wellness activations focused on inspiring kids to lead healthy, active lives, and make nutritious choices, while learning about healthcare careers during the event in support of the Financial Assistance Fund program. Participants also received a wellness kit equipped with a water bottle, jump rope, and brain game.
