Working Today for a Brighter and Better Tomorrow Since 1988
Our goal is to bring philanthropic, corporate, and civic leaders together with the community to increase awareness of the societal impact of the Black maternal health crisis. Maternal mortality is a matter of national health and well-being. Black women experience maternal morbidity and mortality rates 2.6 times higher than White women. Together, we want to harness the collective power and purpose of our guests in action to improve maternal health outcomes. The aim of this luncheon is to raise funds to aid community-based organizations that are working to improve Black maternal health, to deepen their efforts to raise awareness, and to provide greater access to support and services with the overarching goal of reducing the impact of this public health crisis on the physical and mental wellness of families and communities.
The Chicago Chapter Charities Foundation (CCCF) is a registered 501(c)3
