Chance the Rapper continued his fight for Chicago Public Schools by donating $1 million to the district that helped raise him.
Speaking at a press conference at Oliver S. Westcott Elementary in Chicago on Monday (March 6), the Grammy-winning MC announced the news.
“Today, I am proud to announce that I am donating $1 million to CPS,” he said. “This donation was made possible by my fans, through ticket sales for my upcoming tour and an unprecedented coordination from Live Nation, AEG, and Ticketmaster, competing corporations who were able to band together — also with independent promoters and venues across the country — to use funds from ticket sales to donate to CPS…I’m honored to make this donation to Chicago Public Schools Foundation and help cultivate Chicago creative minds.”
