TILLMAN HOSTS 25 FAMILIES AS PART

 OF “FIELD OF DREAMS” PROGRAM

Saturday, February 21:  Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman will make a lasting impression on twenty-five families of children affected by chronic illnesses.  Tillman’s Cornerstone Foundation will be hosting these families at Frankie’s on the Park ( 2322 N. Clark St. ) in Chicago on Saturday, February 21 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. as part of the Cornerstone’s “Field of Dreams” program.  In addition to meeting Charles, the families will be designing their own clothing at Frankie’s Graffiti Bar.  In typical Tillman fashion, Charles is sure to help! 

Frankie’s on the Park is a clothing boutique in Lincoln Park that caters to teens with sophisticated, fashion-forward taste.  The store stocks everyday and special occasion-wear for girls and guys ages 8-18.   In addition to providing this opportunity, Frankie’s on the Park will also be making a cash donation to the Foundation.  “With my daughter’s heart transplant, my family and I are walking in the same shoes as families.  It takes its toll on the entire family.  We wanted to provide these kids and their siblings an opportunity to get out of the hospital to do something cool.  Frankie’s on the Park has been a great partner in allowing us to do this.”
