We're all in. Are you?
The All In Campaign is more than just a financial campaign. It’s a movement to go deeper into your purpose, commitment, and calling. Through the All In Campaign, Breakthrough is mobilizing our entire community of friends and supporters to make a greater impact in East Garfield Park through new program opportunities that will benefit residents for decades to come.
Our goal is to raise $9M to support our bold vision. Thanks to our generous supporters, we have reached 90% of our financial goal. Join us in making a greater impact by donating today.
