Each year, Common Links of Mattoon sponsors the Lil’ Miss Firecracker and Lil’ Mr. Skyrocket fundraiser in which kids collect votes in the form of pennies. Common Links uses the proceeds from this event to purchase and distribute books to all 2nd graders in Mattoon Schools, including St. Mary’s and St. John’s, and to help out local non-profit organizations. If your child would like to be involved, he or she must be between the ages of 4 and 6 on July 4th, 2017. To register or for additional information, call Dawn at 217-259-8922.
