Last Friday, September 1st, Chance The Rapper held his SocialWorks Summit in Chicago’s Southside. He revealed the 20 local public schools that will receive the $2.2 million in donations his New Chance Fund raised for arts education over the past six months.
Chano also announced he’s planning to hold first ever Twilight Awards, which will honor “teachers, parents, principles, and students that convey leadership.” The show will be hosted by James Corden, and is scheduled to take place in June 2018. In addition to the $2.2 million, Chance’s SocialWorks gave away 30,000 backpacks to students at last month’s Bud Billiken Parade.
