Center for Independence

An IL 501(c)3 dedicated to helping children & young adults with disabilities reach their potential.

The mission of the Center for Independence is to help children and young adults with disabilities achieve their highest level of independence in the home, school, community and workforce. We provide therapy programs that develop life skills and motor function in a manner that promotes positive self-reliance, self-esteem and an “I Can!” attitude. Committed to breaking down barriers to the workforce, the Center also provides job linkage and placement for young adults with disabilities through our innovative program, Working Together Chicago.

We’re excited to share a fundraising event that we are lucky to be chosen as the beneficiary this year.

On Sunday, February 1st, starting at 11:30 AM, at Hawthorne’s Backyard, in West Chicago, they will be hosting their annual Turkey Bowling event—turning a parking lot into an outdoor bowling alley where teams knock down pins using frozen turkeys. Yes, really! 🦃🎳

A chance to raise meaningful funds for CFI programs

🎳 Event Details: See Attached Flyer https://www.hawthornesbackyard.com/upcoming-events

Whether you form a team, come out to cheer, or participate in the raffle, your involvement helps make a real difference.

Thank you for supporting CFI, and we hope to see you there—one turkey at a time!

Wishing you joy, peace, and light this holiday season!✨

As we gather with friends and family, we reflect on the people who bring us joy. At the Center for Independence, that joy is found in moments like watching a child with a disability take steps with a walker or reach out to accept a gift from Santa.

A Season of Joy-Made Brighter through Independence!
Happy Holidays from out CFI family to yours! 💚
