Barack Ferrazzano is pleased to be able to give back to the community in time for the holiday season. Since 2012, the BFKN Foundation has partnered with KIPP Ascend Primary School in order to contribute to the well-being of underprivileged children in the Chicago area. Annually the Firm provides coats, this year topping out at nearly 600 garments, to KIPP Ascend Primary just in time for the often harsh winter season Chicago experiences each year, ensuring each KIPP student has a heavy warm coat to call their own.

The Firm would like to thank RentACrate, who donated their time and services for assisting us with coat distribution. Their involvement has been essential.
