ANNUAL REPORT
2010
A MESSAGE FROM OUR OWNER Throughout 2010 the Chicago Fire Foundation maintained its leadership role and commitment to enriching the lives of the Chicagoland community, particularly its youth. Since 1998 the Chicago Fire and the Chicago Fire Foundation have made an enduring impact on the community. To date, the Foundation has contributed more than $1.4 million dollars in grants and contributions, providing enormous opportunities for so many throughout the Chicagoland area. Part of the Chicago Fire Foundation’s ability to enrich lives in Chicagoland has come with great help from the players who have generously donated thousands of hours to give back to the community. These efforts include everything from clinics and book readings to autograph signings and hospital visits with our long standing partner in Children’s Memorial Hospital. In 2010 our team has given back to the community through more than 150 appearances including food and toy drives, visiting Boys & Girls Clubs, reading to children in libraries and serving as celebrity wait staff for various fundraising events that support the Foundation. Within the Fire organization, the players are not alone in giving back to the community. Each year many of
our supporters, sponsors and front office staff continue to strive to make a lasting impact in our community. The club’s Kicks for Kids program is a prime example of the impact the organization has had on Chicago-area youth. Kicks for Kids enables underprivileged children the opportunity to experience the excitement of a Fire game at TOYOTA PARK. Throughout the 2010 season, more than 8,000 children benefited from the program. For many of these children this is the first experience they have had to see a professional soccer game. With each year brings new challenges and excitement for the organization and there is a lot to look forward to on the field in 2011. A new young hard working team with lots of talent, international competition with a match against the English giant Manchester United, and the quest for both our fifth Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and another MLS Cup Championship. On behalf of everyone associated with the Chicago Fire organization and all those who benefit from your generous commitment—we extend a heartfelt thank you. Sincerely, Andrew Hauptman, Owner
PRESIDENT’S LETTER 2010 was filled with many proud moments for the Chicago Fire and the Chicago Fire Foundation. Through our continued work in the community and with the generosity of our supporters, we continued to grow and make our mark on the Chicagoland community. In light of the challenging economic climate, the Foundation was able to continue to give back to the community in 2010. Highlighted by the Season Kickoff Luncheon, which was attended by a record 750 guests and raised more than $70,000, the Foundation got the year off to a great start. Along with the luncheon, with your continuous support and generosity, our fans, the Fire, and the Foundation continued to grow our staple events such as the Commemorative Jersey Auction, the annual Frank Klopas Golf Outing and the 50/50 Raffle during home games. One of the teams’ highlights in 2010 was our “Fire Goes Green” initiatives. On April 22, 2010, Chicago Fire players,

We look forward to further expanding our programming and outreach in 2011.

We greatly appreciate your support of the Foundation throughout the 2010 campaign and together with your help, will continue to reach new heights! Sincerely, Frank Klopas, President Chicago Fire Foundation
