Local Networking Group Gives Back to Area Non-Profits

Lake In The Hills, IL, February 23, 2017– One local networking group is focused on giving back to the communities it serves. The AAA Triple A Chapter of BNI is a group of local business owners and managers who meet weekly to share business referrals and learn to be better networking partners. As they grow their business, the group decided to give back to the community and invest in 6 local non-profits in 2017, beginning in February with a $250 donation to Cancer Kiss My Cooley. Founded in 2011, CKMC is a Huntley, IL based 501(c)3 charitable organization, dedicated to raising community awareness towards pediatric brain tumors. CKMC^® grants Kisses of HOPE, which are special moments or experiences tailor made for the patient and their family. They receive “Kiss of HOPE” referrals for children aged 0-18 years old through established partnerships with the brain tumor program at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, IL and Journeycare in Barrington. “Giving back to the communities we serve is an important part of our chapter’s mission. We operate with a “giver’s gain” mentality in the way we function as a group, knowing that as we look to serve one another, we all benefit. That same philosophy is so important as we look to living and working in our communities, and we believe this is just one small way to demonstrate that commitment,” shared Bryan Reed, the Chapter’s President.

Additional gifts are planned for 2017, as the AAA Triple A Chapter looks forward to growing and giving to the local communities. If you would like more information about the AAA Triple A Chapter of BNI, please contact Michelle Tagliamonte at 937-470-9700 or email at michelle@29fruitsandveggies.com.
