Our Mission
The mission of the Sears Holdings Associate Gospel Choir is to communicate a venerated message through Gospel music.

Community Outreach
The Sears Holdings Associate Gospel Choir incorporates community outreach within its workplace efforts. The choir performed its first “Coats for Kids” concert, a fundraising event to purchase new winter coats for low-income children in Greater Chicago, in 1996. And when the SHAGC recorded the debut CD “Songs of Celebration” in 2001, the choir donated $15,000 to Coats for Kids through proceeds of the CD.
