This back to school season, STATE is dedicating its entire giving efforts towards children in Chicago's most underfunded neighborhoods through a variety of initiatives. Partnerships with Chance the Rapper's Social Works organization, The Chicago White Sox, Knowlita and the Mayor's Office will help make it all happen.

The recent narrative surrounding its inner cities is draped in negativity. Despite this, kids in these communities are showing remarkable resilience and blocking out the noise.

We're looking to change the narrative.
