ATI Raising Funds for Coal City Tornado Relief

ATI Foundation and local clinics hosting fundraiser

The ATI Foundation, together with local ATI Physical Therapy clinics, is hosting a fundraiser to help support the residents of Coal City and surrounding communities in their recovery from the recent tornado. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit ATI Foundation beneficiary and cancer patient, Megan Bugg of Coal City, the Community Foundation of Grundy County and the Coal City Athletic Boosters.

ATI locations in Joliet, Crest Hill, Shorewood, Plainfield, Minooka, Morris and Ottawa will be selling t-shirts ($20), bracelets ($5) and Coal City Strong tags ($2) through Friday, July 24.

Terry Williams, Director of the ATI Foundation, is helping to coordinate the efforts with the local clinics. “The minute we heard about the devastation in Coal City, we had to help. The mission of the ATI Foundation is to aid children with physical impairments to enhance their quality of life. With the support of the Foundation, and the fundraising through our clinics, we’ll be able to provide Megan and her family with some financial assistance we hope will help ease the burdens they may be feeling at this time.”
