Dear Kenwood Academy Community,
On behalf of Friends of Kenwood Academy (FOKA), we extend our deepest gratitude for your incredible support during our Giving Tuesday campaign, “Empowering Excellence in the Four A’s.” Thanks to your generosity and dedication, we surpassed our goal, raising over $25,000 to enhance student programs in Academics, Athletics, the Arts, and Activities.
This achievement reflects the unwavering commitment of the Kenwood family—parents, alumni, staff, and friends—who believe in creating opportunities that empower our students to excel. Your contributions will directly enhance programs that inspire creativity, foster teamwork, encourage intellectual growth, and strengthen the spirit of Bronco pride.
If you haven’t had a chance to donate, there’s still time to make an impact! Friends of Kenwood Academy accepts donations year-round, and you can also become a monthly donor or support us through our online store and pop-up shop. Every contribution ensures our students have the resources they need to thrive.
Be sure to follow us on Instagram at @foka.5015 and join us for our monthly meetings to grow our capacity to support Kenwood for years to come.
Together, we’ve demonstrated the power of a community united by a shared purpose. Thank you for championing our students and helping to ensure they have every opportunity to succeed and excel. We are honored to work alongside such a dedicated and supportive community.
With gratitude and admiration,
Friends of Kenwood Academy
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that is held each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past twelve years, it has grown into a global movement inspiring hundreds of millions of people to give money to causes and nonprofit organizations they care about.
Friends of Kenwood Academy's (FOKA) Giving Tuesday campaign is an invitation to the broader KAHS community of parents, alumni, and staff to donate generously and raise a goal of $25,000 by Empowering Excellence in the 4A's. We hope you will join us in making a contribution to this effort on or before Tuesday, December 3, 2024.
A well-rounded education unlocks a world of potential. Our Giving Tuesday campaign is focused on supporting Kenwood students with the experiences and resources they need to achieve and thrive.
This campaign's objective is to support Kenwood's many clubs, teams and other extracurricular organizations so all students are able to participate in spite of the limited funding allotted to Kenwood Academy through the public school system.
Funds from this campaign will:
Enhance ACADEMIC programs by equipping academic clubs with resources to enable skill development, travel to competitions, and participation in college tours.
Support ATHLETICS and the ARTS by offering funding for team equipment, travel expenses for competitive activities, and arts programming.
Enable ACTIVITIES by supporting clubs and extracurriculars that foster leadership, teamwork, and personal growth.
Your contribution will help FOKA fulfill funding requests made for extra-curricular activities, including student travel, uniforms, equipment, technology, and so much more!
5015 S Blackstone is where our students show up everyday for the Best High School Experience in the City of Chicago. Give now to ensure they have ALL the resources they need to continue excelling.
Thank you!
