Consider 'Paying it Forward' with Palatine's C.A.T.I.F.
C.A.T.I.F. welcomes two high-level event sponsors, and invites other individuals and business community members to join the cause.
Ever think of getting involved with a cause greater than yourself? Have you pictured being in a crisis situation where you weren’t sure where to turn for help? Or maybe, you’ve been through that already in your life. You may know that sometimes we must all rely on the giving nature of others who care-even if they don’t know us personally....
C.A.T.I.F. [Celebrating All That Is Feminine] is a Palatine-based non-profit that raises money yearly for organizations that assist women and/or children who are living through crisis.
Some of the established non-profits to whom C.A.T.I.F. has donated funds to include WINGS Women in Need Growing Stronger, PHD, Home of the Sparrow, Lazarus House, Kappa Kappa Gamma GIRLS Academy and Elgin Community Crisis Center.

So, if you want to make a difference, and support a local charity that raises funds so others can find their way out of crisis, do one of four things....1) attend the event by purchasing tickets online at www.catifcharity.com, 2) become a sponsor of the event-this helps you contribute to the cause while promoting your business or organization, 3) donate a raffle or silent auction prize, again, so you can gain some promotion for your business or organization, or 4) VOLUNTEER!
Or you could choose option 5 and do all four of the above!
Whatever your level of involvement, C.A.T.I.F. is grateful for your time, energy and commitment to helping those through their darkest times.
