In other super cool news, a DePaul student recently reached out to us about her marketing class choosing Camp Out For Kids for the subject of their class project!   Just think, out of all the amazing Chicago NFPs, they chose us!  

Their mission is to allocate $50,000 in advertising and marketing spending for COFK.  It's not every day that someone comes out of the woodwork to say "Hey, we want to plan your advertising and marketing campaign and help in any other ways as well."  We are excited to team up with this DePaul class and see where it takes us!
