Colors4Change was recently interviewed by CBS Chicago, and the Illinois Chapter was featured discussing our mission and history as well as demonstrating daily operations through a sorting session and donation drop-off to Alive Center.
During the interview, the President of the Illinois Chapter, Anya Acharya, spoke of the origin of Colors4Change and the initial donation to the nonprofit, Ekjut, which inspired her family to collect art supplies to distribute to underserved communities across the world. The rest of the Colors4Change team was filmed melting down and packing crayons, markers, and colored pencils and preparing them to be donated to Alive Center. Once the donations were dropped off, Alive Center’s staff took the Illinois Chapter to the art room. There we saw how the donated supplies will be used by children and their artwork. The interview captured the impact of Colors4Change and the strong sense of community that has been established through our mission to spread art to all children, and we are eager for CBS Chicago to encourage everyone to make a change, one crayon at a time.
