“…We make a life by what we give."
PRESENTED BY CHICAGO PRIVATE YACHT RENTALS
Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

A Charitable Charter may be helpful if you want to host an intimate charity event or you are a non-profit that wants to strengthen relationships with present donors and persuade prospective donors.
