A Chicago nonprofit youth football and cheer organization is facing a devastating setback after all of its equipment was destroyed in a fire. The incident happened early Wednesday morning after a stolen car that was abandoned next to the organization's storage container was set on fire. That fire grew and spread to the container, setting everything inside ablaze, according to the High Ridge Chargers Board of Directors. The damage amounts to around $30,000.
For now, the organization has planned an emergency fundraiser to replace the equipment and coaches are working to find some temporary gear for upcoming practices. "Our team's spirit has always been unyielding, fueled by passion and camaraderie while being led 100% by community volunteers. While we mourn this devastating loss, we turn to our community to help us move forward and keep the Chargers going," the board said on social media.
