Aurora's African American Men of Unity (AAMOU) was the recipient of the prestigious "Off To College Trunk Party" donation from the Jesse White Foundation. The donation, which took place in early August, is part of the Foundation's mission to provide a "trunk" or "care package" to 500 college-bound students throughout the Chicagoland area. The Foundation's overall goal is to prepare incoming college students with fundamental items, allowing them to focus on academics throughout the school year. Each student receives over 50 items, including bed linens, towels, school supplies, toiletries, and more. Students are also entered into a raffle to win an electronic device! Since 2015, over 160 electronic devices, such as iPads, laptop computers, printers, tablets, and televisions have been raffled off to lucky winners. Congratulations to Aurora's AAMOU on working with the Jesse White Foundation to receive these critical donations as the new school year is set to begin!
