CELEBRATE AND GIVE BACK A $1 donation will be added to your registration with the


ability for you to change the dollar amount to your donation of choice*. This donation will be split between the Resident Relief Foundation, who helps keep responsible residents in their apart- ments during an unexpected financial emergency and help them better prepare for future emergencies and the Children’s Hunger Fund, which delivers life-saving food and aid to suffering children and families. *Donations over $20 will receive a receipt directly from char- ity organizers post conference.


The Resident Relief Foundation The Resident Relief Foundation is a bridge that helps a re-


sponsible resident stay in their homes during an unexpected finan- cial emergency by providing rental assistance grants. NAA has joined the Resident Relief Initiative to help good, hard-working residents affected by the COVID-19 crisis and is helping to raise much-needed funds for this great cause. Every donation to RRF is 100% tax-deductible which means that every cent of your dona- tion goes to pay past due rent for a resident at risk of eviction and possibly homelessness. Help keep responsible residents in their apartments, get owners/managers paid, and eliminate eviction, collection and turnover costs especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.


The Children’s Hunger Fund This year millions of kids in the US are facing food inse-


curity with schools closing early and many parents suddenly unemployed. More families than ever are in need of food. The Children’s Hunger Fund has worked in the US and around the world to elevate the local church to deliver life-saving food and aid to suffering children and families. The coronavirus was unex- pected, and the need for assistance is immediate.


COVID-RELATED INFORMATION The City of Chicago announced their plan to full reopen by
