IRS990/Desc0Operation North Pole: The Organization hosts a fantasy trip to the North Pole for approximately 75 families who have a child battling a life threatening/terminal illness. The trip includes an overnight stay at a local hotel, a ride on a specially holiday themed "wrapped" Union Pacific Metra Commuter train, a visit to Santa's Winter Wonderland, which is a 28,000 sq. ft. decorated banquet facility located at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. and finally, holiday presents for all the good little boys and girls aged 12 and younger in the family. 74 families received gifts valued at $300.00 in addition to other gifts.Elementary School Coat Program: Operation North Pole provided approximately 4,000 new winter coats to eight (8) elementary schools located in surrounding communities in 2017. Schools are selected based on the number of attending students who are eligible for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch program as identified in Illinois State Board of Education published annual reports. The Board of Directors has established that schools are eligible to be selected if the student population in excess of 70% are eligible for free or reduced lunches. The total number of schools selected each year is based upon the amount of funding secured to purchase the coats. Operation North Pole facilitates the distribution of the coats with the assistance of the local fire and police departments in an effort to also create a more positive public relations experience with the local public safety officers of the community.
