Clay Scherb Rehabilitation & Educational Fund

Every year, the Windy City Smokeout picks a charity to support that is near and dear to our hearts. This year, we have chosen the Clay Scherb Rehabilitation/Educational Fund. Please consider making a donation for $1, $5 or $10. Clay, 17, from the northern suburbs of Chicago, is recovering from a tragic accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down.

Windy City Smokeout will match all donations made to the Clay Scherb Rehabilitation/Educational Fund.
