Throughout the weekend of February 4-6, 2011, over 50 UNITE members will embark on a 43 hour journey to raise awareness about the 43% cohort dropout rate in Chicago. Future teachers will gather first-hand experience as they learn how to use community resources to empower children to stay in school. Join us as we work together in hopes of lowering the dropout rates in our own future classrooms.

Climbing to 8000
As participants are traveling through neighborhoods in Chicago, we thought we would take a break to update everyone on the progress of our fund raising portion for Project 43! All participants have done a great job raising money and gaining sponsorships in support of the weekend. So far, we have a total of $6,893 from all of our generous sponsors. Thank you to those who have already donated. UNITE members are still working throughout Chicago trying to raise awareness of the dropout rate and can still use your help to reach our goal of $8,000! If you have not donated to Project 43 already and are able, it would be greatly appreciated if you visit www.urbanneeds.org/Project_43_Donate.html
