Our Chicago Jr. Board is the youth wing of AIF, composed of high-school students from around the Chicagoland area who share a passion to celebrate their heritage and support underserved communities in India. They devote time during the school year and over the summer to hold fundraising events that support various AIF programs.
Over the last few years, the Chicago Jr. Board focused their efforts on the need of the hour: to help rebuild lives devastated by the pandemic by providing access to digital education and then to addressing mental health concerns among adolescents in India. Recently, they hosted the Play to Prevent Carnival in Chicago. This year, they fundraised to provide both doses of HPV vaccinations to girls in rural India, raising just over $55,000. The event included an auction for box level Cubs tickets, a competitive volleyball match, a trivia contest, a pop-up shop, live music, and delicious food from various local venodrs.
