CITYPAK Founder Ron Kaplan had a fortunate upbringing in Chicago. When his mother passed he began managing her foundation - The Selma Breskin Kaplan (SBK) Foundation, and became disillusioned with writing checks. Ron wanted to provide valuable support to those experiencing homelessness in a way that would drive real impact. This is just part of the CITYPAK story.
