We extend our gratitude for the Tawani Foundations continued support of the Chicago Public Schools JROTC program. Thank you so much for your generous contribution and support. We could not affect significant progress without it. The opportunities provided by the foundations funding have helped to sustain the program and enhance the leadership, citizenship and social responsibility of cadets. The grant is used in programming activities such as Staff Rides, competitions and Leadership Awards. The grant funding enables us to enrich cadets’ knowledge of postsecondary options, our rich military heritage and being able to see beyond their current environment.
