CHICAGO, IL USA – Joe Stacy, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago’s Kindness Foundation, is pleased to announce that the Foundation sponsored The Sunshine Kids Teen Getaway trip to Chicago, Illinois from August 16-20, 2022. The Sunshine Kids organization provides exciting, positive group activities and opportunities for children with cancer so they may once again do what kids are meant to do… have fun and celebrate life. During the Teen Getaway, 14 teens from across the country traveled to Chicago to make friends with kids who are going through similar circumstances while experiencing Chicago together and making lasting memories.
Stacy said, “We were so proud to welcome The Sunshine Kids to the great city of Chicago last week. This annual trip was paused for the last few years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so this group of teens was ready to take full advantage of all our city has to offer. BHHS Chicago agents and staff welcomed the teens as they arrived at the airport, made sure their hotel suite was decorated and fully stocked with snacks and games, and acted as hosts and chaperones at all of the exciting events they took part in over the course of five days. These teens have gone through so much, so it was a true pleasure to give them so much joy while they were here. We are already looking forward to planning next year’s visit.”
During The Sunshine Kids Teen Getaway, the teens created their own pizzas at Lou Malnati’s, visited the Shedd Aquarium, enjoyed food from Portillo’s, visited the Hancock Building and 360 Chicago, posed for photos by the Bean, blasted through the water on a Sea Dog Cruise and explored Navy Pier, rose to new heights at iFLY Indoor Skydiving, devoured food from PF Chang’s, took a Chicago river tour and enjoyed their hotel pool.
The Teen Getaway was made possible through ongoing donations to the Kindness Foundation by BHHS Chicago agents and staff. The Kindness Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose mission is to support meaningful local initiatives that improve the communities the company serves and enhances the quality of life for fellow citizens.
