Give back this holiday seasonEveryone has something to give and every act of generosity counts. This holiday season, CTC is joining forces with The Honeycomb Project to spread kindness and cheer across Chicago and beyond.
The Honeycomb Project is excited to welcome CTC as a Beekeeper Sponsor at this year’s Inaugural Holiday Cheer Challenge! Your support comes at a critical time; ensuring Honeycomb can come back in full force to mobilize 5,000 volunteers into action next year. Thank YOU!
Join the Team
Did someone say scavenger hunt? Honeycomb's NEW winter fundraiser, The Holiday Cheer Challenge (Saturday, December 11th; 2:00 - 5:00 pm), is fun for all ages. Teams of participants will descend on downtown Chicago to perform simple tasks that make others smile: caroling at Cloud Gate, giving "thank you" notes to city workers, staging scenes from the Nutcracker...the list goes on!
We hope you’ll join us for The Holiday Cheer Challenge! Not only is it a great way for your gang at CTC to celebrate the season together; 100% of funds raised support Honeycomb's year-round family volunteer programs.
