What is the CFCs campaign goal and how is it going to raise these funds?
Our campaign goal is $10.5 million which will provide sufficient funds to fully rebuild the Karger Center into a state-of-the-art facility. This goal will provide improved and expanded care and services to all community members regardless of their ability to pay. for by the CFC. We are also raising $4 million for furnishings, program, and maintenance. The CFC has been dedicated to locating the appropriate site for this project since 2001. Thus far, the CFC has raised and spent nearly $650,000 in the process. To achieve our campaign goal, we will be approaching private foundations, corporations, individuals, and alumni, as well as seeking federal, state and local funds. We already have commitments for the land and building from the City of Highland Park, pledges from the State of Illinois, Lake County and Moraine Township as well as dedicated board members.
