SAY YES TO SECOND CHANCES™
Englewood Expungement & Community Resource Event
Fresh Start. Cleared Records. Resources. Support. Opportunity.
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Sewell Point and Bet On Me Foundation, alongside Englewood Heroes and our community partners, are bringing Say Yes to Second Chances to Englewood.
This event is about more than clearing a record. It is about helping people move forward.
A past mistake should not have to become a lifetime barrier to employment, housing, education, financial stability, or opportunity. Say Yes to Second Chances brings legal assistance, community resources, supportive organizations, and opportunities together in one place to help individuals and families take meaningful steps toward a brighter future.
EVENT DETAILS
Saturday, October 24, 2026
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Englewood
1504 W. 63rd St.
Chicago, IL 60636
Open to the Community
EXPUNGEMENT & RECORD-SEALING ASSISTANCE
Individuals seeking help with an Illinois criminal record will have an opportunity to connect with participating attorneys and legal-resource organizations to receive information regarding expungement, record sealing, cannabis conviction relief, and other potential legal remedies for which they may qualify.
Eligibility and outcomes depend on each person's individual record and applicable Illinois law. Participation in the event does not guarantee that a record can be expunged or sealed.
Appointments are required for legal consultations.
Participants should obtain their Chicago Police Department RAP Sheet before their scheduled appointment.
MORE THAN AN EXPUNGEMENT EVENT
We want residents to leave with more than information about their records.
Our goal is to surround individuals and families with organizations that can help them move forward. We are bringing together community partners who can provide resources related to employment, workforce development, housing, education, financial literacy, health and wellness, youth and family services, reentry support, legal services, mentorship, and other community needs.
This is what a second chance should look like: not simply removing a barrier, but creating a pathway forward.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS & VENDORS NEEDED
Help Us Bring Resources Directly to Englewood
We are currently inviting community organizations, nonprofits, businesses, agencies, service providers, employers, educational organizations, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and other community partners to participate in Say Yes to Second Chances.
We are especially seeking partners that can provide real resources, services, opportunities, information, referrals, enrollment assistance, or direct support to attendees.
Potential partners include organizations offering employment and job training; housing assistance; education and scholarships; financial literacy and banking; mental-health and wellness resources; healthcare; youth and family services; reentry services; legal assistance; violence-prevention resources; mentorship; entrepreneurship and small-business resources; food and basic-needs assistance; and other programs that strengthen individuals and families.
WHAT WE ASK OF OUR PARTNERS
Come prepared to engage with the community.
We encourage participating organizations to provide useful information, answer questions, connect residents directly with services, and—whenever possible—help attendees take the next step that day, whether that means completing an application, scheduling an appointment, enrolling in a program, applying for an opportunity, or receiving a direct referral.
We want this event to be resource-driven, not simply table-driven.
BECOME A COMMUNITY PARTNER
If your organization believes in second chances, stronger families, safer communities, and creating pathways to opportunity, we would love to have you join us.
Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 10:00 AM–1:00 PM
1504 W. 63rd St., Chicago, IL 60636
Together, we can help turn a second chance into a real opportunity.
ENGLEWOOD IS POSSIBLE.

HART OF CHRISTMAS™
Children’s Holiday Toy Drive
In Honor of Serita Hart
Giving Hope Through Christmas
This Christmas, Sewell Point & Bet On Me Foundation are coming together to bring joy, dignity, hope, and the magic of the holiday season to children and families throughout the Chicagoland community.
On Sunday, December 20, 2026, from 2:00 PM–5:00 PM in Dolton, Illinois, we will host the Hart of Christmas Children’s Holiday Toy Drive, a special community celebration held in honor of Serita Hart.
For some families, Christmas can bring tremendous financial pressure. No parent should have to choose between keeping the lights on, putting food on the table, and giving their child something to open on Christmas morning.
Hart of Christmas was created to help fill that gap—with toys, love, community, resources, and hope.
Our goal is simple: to make sure the children we serve know that they are seen, they are valued, and they have a community that cares about them.
🎁 WHAT CHILDREN & FAMILIES CAN EXPECT
Hart of Christmas will provide registered children and families with a festive holiday experience centered around joy, play, family, and community.
Children will have an opportunity to receive donated Christmas toys and gifts at no cost to their families, while families can connect with community resources and support.
We want children to receive gifts that allow them to have fun, use their imagination, create, explore, learn, build confidence, and simply enjoy being kids.
Some of the children we serve are also developing foundational reading and writing skills. Through donated games, STEM toys, arts and crafts, educational toys, imaginative-play items, and other engaging gifts, we hope to create opportunities for children to learn naturally through play—while never forgetting that sometimes a toy should simply make a child smile.
🎄 EVENT DETAILS
Sunday, December 20, 2026
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Dolton, Illinois
The event address will be provided to registered participants.
Serving children and families throughout the Chicagoland community.

🤝 CORPORATE & COMMUNITY PARTNERS WANTED
We are actively seeking organizations that believe every child deserves to experience joy during the holidays.
Corporate and community partners can support Hart of Christmas through toy and product donations, event sponsorships, gift cards, food and refreshments, children's activities, family resources, transportation assistance, volunteer teams, and other in-kind contributions.
We also welcome organizations that would like to attend the event and provide meaningful resources directly to participating families.
Whether your organization can donate 10 toys, 100 toys, sponsor an element of the celebration, provide volunteers, or contribute a service, there is a place for you in the Hart of Christmas.
🙋🏽♀️ VOLUNTEER WITH US
Christmas becomes even more meaningful when a community comes together to serve.
We are looking for volunteers to help us receive and organize donations, prepare toys for distribution, welcome families, assist with children's activities, distribute gifts, support event operations, and help create a warm and joyful Christmas experience.
Bring your family, coworkers, organization, church, or community group and serve alongside us.
Come help us turn donated toys into Christmas memories.
🎅🏽 REGISTER YOUR CHILD/FAMILY
Families experiencing financial hardship are encouraged to register their children for consideration to participate in the Hart of Christmas.
Registration is required.
Because donated toys and quantities are dependent upon community support, registration does not guarantee specific toys, brands, quantities, or requested items. Our team will work to distribute available gifts as thoughtfully and fairly as possible.
Approved/registered families will receive additional event information, including the Dolton event location.
[REGISTER YOUR FAMILY]
🎁 MAKE A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS BRIGHTER
A donated toy may seem like a small thing.
But to a child on Christmas, it can mean the world.
It can create excitement.
It can encourage imagination.
It can provide comfort.
It can inspire learning.
It can create a memory.
Most importantly, it can remind a child:
You are seen. You are valued. You are not forgotten.
Together, we can give hope through Christmas.
