Chicago real estate firms are about more than developing land; they are also committed to developing young minds. On Aug. 17, Taylor Johnson clients Belgravia Group and Kass Management Services will team up with Back 2 School Illinois (B2SI) for a Build-A-Kit event during which employees from both firms will assemble school supply kits for children from low-income families. B2SI is the largest free school supplies program in Illinois and, in 2016, provided over 890,000 school supplies to more than 29,000 underprivileged children. Client CA Ventures is a major sponsor of the program. Read more about the upcoming Build-A-Kit event here.

After raising $15,000 for Back 2 School Illinois last year, Belgravia Group has set a fundraising goal of $20,000 in 2017.
