Theme: Ripples of Hope

18 th Annual Coalition to Reduce Recidivism, in conjunction with Coalition Legal, LLC. 2021 Virtual Fundraising Event - Friday, October 8th “Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends for a tiny ripple of hope.” Robert F. Kennedy Dear Potential Sponsor, Our theme: "Ripples of Hope" describes what manifests inside the minds and hearts of individuals on the journey to reclaim their status in society after incarceration.

For 18 years, the Coalition to Reduce Recidivism, a 501(c)3 non-profit, has challenged these obstacles by equipping previously incarcerated persons with resources needed to get on their feet and not return to prison. Re-entry services have focused on job training, securing gainful employment, educational programming and civic empowerment. Since 2005, over 2,000 repatriates have benefited from the services provided by the Coalition, assisting men and women returning from prison. We are proud to report the Coalition’s National recognition of the Liberty Bell Award in May 2009.

In August, 2021, Coalition Legal, LLC., in conjunction of Legacy Reentry Foundation, assisted 50 individuals with the expungement and sealing of criminal records. This critical, yet necessary service, is an example of a ripple of hope provided to qualified individuals, allowing them to live free from the burden of a criminal background.

The Coalition and Coalition Legal will host their 18th Annual (Virtual) Fundraiser on Friday, October 8, 2021. Included with this letter, is an overview of the sponsorship levels. We hope you will join us by supporting this life changing event. The Coalition believes your donations will have a great impact on the lives of individuals and families, and humbly request your participation.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please free to contact Ms. Robbie Randle at 847-244-4900 or by email at rrandle@waukegantownship.com.
