As promised, Larry dyed his hair pink in honor of hitting our Goal for #GivingTuesday! (See video above.)
As 2019 comes to a close, the Team at 350 Chicago is reflecting on its accomplishments over the past year
and looking ahead to great things in store for 2020…

- Gained non-profit status with State of Illinois
Our priorities for 2020:
-
