Remembering Jerry Springer: From Talk Show Host to Advocate for Children with Disabilities
Jerry Springer, known for his rowdy talk show, had a softer side when it came to his daughter and a school in Evanston where she volunteered. Katie Springer volunteered at Park School, a public school for students with disabilities, for over two decades. Jerry Springer often visited the school to pick up his daughter and engaged with students. He donated over $200,000 to build a multisensory enrichment space for students and gave a "powerful" speech at a fundraiser for Noah's Playground for Everyone, a fully accessible playground in Evanston.
