>> THE STAKES

>> by Phyllis Shafron in memory of her son, and our friend, Devin.  Its
>> historical purpose has been to provide new books for Chicago public school
>> libraries; more recently it has expanded to support a variety of other
>> youth-related causes in the Chicago area.  The foundation has raised tens
>> of thousands of dollars and donated to dozens of organizations in Devin’s
>> memory.  There are several schools that have plaques in honor of The Pool’s
>> contribution.  If anyone would like more information about the foundation,
