SCALP Gives Back
Covenant House
SCALP Trade is proud to support Covenant House Illinois (CHIL), a Chicago not-for-profit organization serving young people ages 18-24 experiencing the devastation of homelessness and housing instability.
Since 2017, CHIL has reached nearly 2,000 young people in crisis, providing a comprehensive array of services – including interim shelter, education services and workforce development, clinical case-management, and a slate of wraparound support programming – to help youth permanently break the cycle of homelessness and achieve sustainable independence.
SCALP Trade support includes:
- Operating support – helping CHIL deliver essential services to more than 300 young people annually
- Capital support – SCALP Trade is proud to be a financial donor to CHIL’s Campaign for Youth Potential, a $12 million capital campaign to fund the purchase and redevelopment of CHIL’s new campus on Chicago’s West Side. Once finished, this totally renovated facility will allow CHIL to increase its shelter capacity by more than 400 percent, develop and launch innovative programming, expand drop-in and outreach services, and ultimately reach so many more vulnerable young people in need.
- Governance – Joel Zawko, SCALP Trade's Chief Operating officer, recently joined CHIL’s Board of Directors
I’m excited to give back and support CHIL’s mission at this critical time, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to join this group of dedicated leaders in the fight to end youth homelessness.
-- Joel Zawko
Please join us in partnering with this vital organization – to provide hope to young people in crisis and a practical path out of homelessness and toward a brighter future.
Connor Hunt Memorial Foundation
At SCALP Trade, we are dedicated to making a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer. Our commitment to this vital cause was inspired by the courageous journey of Connor Hunt, who, since his diagnosis in 2012 with stage 4 Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma, exemplified incredible strength and grace. Despite his challenging battle with this rare and aggressive cancer, Connor’s spirit and resilience left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
In 2020, we joined the fight in supporting The Connor Hunt Memorial Foundation.The Connor Hunt Memorial Foundation was established to fund crucial pediatric cancer research at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. This research is vital, as it offers hope and improved treatment options for children battling cancer, not only in Chicago but around the globe. For some, these clinical trials represent a critical lifeline.
Join us in supporting this worthy cause. Together, we can continue to honor Connor’s legacy and advance the mission of the Connor Hunt Memorial Foundation, bringing hope and progress to children and families facing this formidable challenge.
