(Video) Chance the Rapper Raises $2.2 Million for Chicago Public Schools
With the start of the school season officially starting next week, Chance the Rapper has come through with his promise to raise money for the financially-strapped Chicago Public Schools.
On Friday (Sept. 2), the Grammy-winning rapper announced that he will donate $2.2 million to 20 CPS via his non-profit organization, Social Works.
“Quality education for public schools is the most important investment a community can make,” the rapper said at Chicago’s Harold Washington Cultural Center, four days before the school year begins in the city.
“So today, all of us at SocialWorks are excited to take our biggest, boldest step yet and announce our first-ever grants from the New Chance Fund. Today we’re giving a new chance to kids in 20 more schools across our city.”
