Local Students Receive a Back-to-School Boost from Winston’s Chicago, Charlotte, and Dallas Offices

Chicago’s Winston for Good team coordinated an online fundraiser that raised enough money to purchase school supplies for nearly 370 back-to-school kits for students served by UCAN—a nonprofit that supports more than 21,000 at-risk children, youth, and families throughout Illinois.

Chicago office members, including many of our summer associates, assembled the back-to-school kits, which include 30 vital supplies such as folders, notebooks, pens, paper, and rulers. This was Chicago’s first in-office Winston for Good event since the COVID-19 pandemic began and the Chicago office turned out in force. Thank you to the following for participating: Emily Allen, Kelsey Bagwill, Ken Berry, Ryan Bradley, Benjamin Carbery, Schantel Deal-Ross, Stephanie Dixon, Jared Epstein, Jake Ferzacca, Lauren Frank, Zoe Goldstein, Maria Gomez, Amber Goodenough, Jacob Johnson, James Jones, Michael Kreamer, Yishi Liang, Dylcia McBlackwell, Lisa McLafferty, Beth Myburgh, Elayna Napoli, Carly Pace, Ariana Palermo, A.J. Richardson, Jack Shea, Grant Shillington, Paige Stepan, Christina Vargas, Emily Waltz, Grace Wojcik.

Winston’s Chicago Summer Associate Class of 2021 came together to assemble back-to-school kits for at-risk youth in Illinois.
