As we close out 2024 and reflect on the past year, we are reminded of the power of collaboration and community in shaping a brighter future.

In celebration of the holiday season, we are proud to renew and increase our strategic investment in Chicago CRED, a vital organization committed to reducing gun violence in Chicago.

Chicago CRED works tirelessly alongside community leaders, like-minded organizations, and dedicated individuals to create transformative change. Their holistic approach—including street outreach, life coaching, therapy, education, and job training—directly addresses the root causes of gun violence, offering hope and opportunity to the South and West Side communities of Chicago.

Our multi-year commitment to Chicago CRED underscores our belief in their mission and our continued dedication to community development. Together, we are making strides toward a safer, more vibrant Chicago.

Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Your support empowers us to continue making a meaningful difference.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a New Year filled with peace and prosperity.

Warmest regards,

Applegate & Thorne-Thomsen
