Columbus Memorial Fund donates $1,500 to NorthPointe Resources
Recently, Columbus Memorial Club donated $1,500 to the Employment Match Drive currently being done by NorthPointe Resources. The check for $1,500 was presented to CEO Dina Donohue-Chase and Development Manager Cheryl Dunlap.
"The Columbus Memorial Club is proud to help further NorthPointe's mission of community employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Our donations are guided by the principles fostered by the Knights of Columbus, and we chose NorthPointe as a donor recipient because of their dedication of providing opportunities for community integration at all levels for people with disabilities," said Dan Anders, Columbus Memorial Club member.
Columbus Memorial Club is part of Knights of Columbus and has a rich history of helping the communities throughout the United States. From donations, special events and community volunteering, Anders said that the Knights of Columbus have a commitment to enriching the lives of all residents in the community.
NorthPointe's Employment fundraising campaign aims to raise $15,000 in this year's campaign. The Zion-based nonprofit currently provides Employment Resources services throughout Northern Cook, Lake and McHenry counties.
"The Knights have been a strong supporter of NorthPointe and our mission for many, many years. We are extremely grateful to them for their generosity and their commitment to making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities," said Dina Donohue-Chase, CEO of NorthPointe Resources.
"This generous donation from Columbus Memorial Club will significantly enhance our ability to reach our goal," added Donohue-Chase.
