A grant was recently awarded to A.R.T.S. by The Allstate Insurance Company as part of their commitment to supporting programs and partnerships that empower youth—in their own lives and in their own communities.  Through this generous grant, A.R.T.S. is now able to provide after school group drumming classes to at-risk youth, grades 1-8.

The Allstate Corporation (NYSE: ALL) is the nation’s largest publicly held personal lines insurer, protecting approximately 16 million households from life’s uncertainties through auto, home, life and other insurance offered through its Allstate, Esurance, Encompass and Answer Financial brand names. In the 20 years since Allstate became a fully independent public company, The Allstate Foundation, Allstate, its employees and agency owners have donated more than $405 million to support local communities.

A.R.T.S. is looking to expand its board and is currently seeking 2-3 candidates. Some board experience is preferred, though not required as we move to expand our outreach. We have scheduled board meetings approximately 3 times/year with 2-3 additional meetings focused around our annual ARTS by the Glass fundraiser. And, although our mission is serious, we make sure to have a good time while doing it. Come join us!

Join us at our next Volunteer Informational Session to learn more about how you can get involved. Our info sessions are 1 hour and open to anyone to attend. To get started, please email Ann with your name and which info session you plan to attend.

All sessions held at the Palatine Public Library 700 N. North Ct., Palatine, IL 60067
