Little City Foundation's 2013 Annual Report

Your

PA S S POR T to a breakthough year of adventure, exploration and progress at Little City.

FISCAL YEAR 2013 ANNUAL REPORT | WWW.LITTLECITY.ORG

Welcome aboard! Join us as we share our stories.

Let's explore together.

A Letter from the Executive Director and Board President Friends and Partners, We’re delighted to provide you with a passport to a breakthrough year of adventure, exploration and progress at Little City. We’ve traveled far and wide, returned home and continue to pioneer—pushing forward and making advancements in the field of disability care.

We have made the most of the opportunities given to us.

With those opportunities, we deliver premier services for our children and adults. And it is only because of friends like you that we have these opportunities to venture forward.

Throughout this Fiscal Year 2013 Annual Report, we will deliver a summary of incredible achievements, inspiring

We’ve traveled far and wide,

stories and show you where our children and adults have traveled. You’ll discover how we are fully integrated into our surrounding neighborhoods, how we make the most of community offerings and how we arrive at our destinations at home and abroad!

For example, in 2013 we celebrated 20 successful years of delivering foster care and adoption

returned home and continue to pioneer

services—finding “forever families” for foster children with special needs. Our campaign was entitled, “15,000 Reasons” because there are 15,000 children in the Illinois Foster Care System.

The Little City Golf Invitational—the longest running charity golf event in Illinois—celebrated its 50th anniversary by breaking revenue records. The event, which honored Kent P. Dauten, far surpassed our expectations. We also received the largest individual living gift in our 54-year history

totaling $1 million dollars from John M. and Becky Duffey for which the Duffey Family Children’s Village will be named.

The achievements and the life journeys of the people of Little City are incredible.

Come along and ride with us,
