Marilyn G. Rabb Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Marilyn G. Rabb Foundation, abbreviated as MGR Foundation, is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization in the United States. Its mission is to help at-risk youth overcome social and educational barriers to success.[1] The MGR Foundation was founded by Lionel Rabb, the stepson of Marilyn G. Rabb.[2] The foundation's recent work includes organizing a large youth rally against gang violence in Pittsburgh[3] as well as sponsoring an initiative to "green" urban schools.[4]
