We are youth born in Chicago with roots from Central Serbia, known as Šumadija. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren of our grandparents and great-grandparents who have not forgotten our origin or most important traditions. In that vein, we created the Šumadija humanitarian foundation: A non-profit organization focused on empowering and supporting orphanages and charitable causes in Serbia and worldwide through community-driven fundraising and humanitarian efforts.
At Manastir Gracanica (35240 W Grant Ave, Third Lake, IL 60046) we will be hosting our first annual Sumadijsko Vece! Plans for this event include live music, folklor performances, a silent auction, and more! For this event, all proceeds will go to the Zvecanska 19 orphanage. Entrance is $20. Our goal is not just this year, but in the future as well, to raise money and help less fortunate Serbian children in need in Serbia and worldwide.
