A Word From the President and CEO Dear Friends, I want you to know how grateful I am and all of us at Trinity Services are for your support.

This year has thrown so many obstacles and difficulties at all of us. Yet, if you’re reading this, you still dedicated time and resources to the people we support and our mission to help them flourish and live full and abundant lives. We, truly, cannot thank you enough for participating in our Better Together Virtual Fundraiser.

Though we cannot gather in person this year for our annual Dinner Dance & Auction in Tinley Park or our annual Dinner & Concert Gala in Oak Brook, we are fortunate to be able to use technology to connect with each other and celebrate Trinity’s mission.

I hope you enjoy the informational, inspirational and entertaining presentations we have prepared for you this evening. We want to connect you with the people we support, our heroic frontline staff members who support them, our accomplishments, our struggles and our goals. You are an integral part of our mission, and we want you to see, firsthand, how your support helps.

Though we cannot be together in person, we are together in spirit. We all care about people with developmental disabilities and mental illness. We all want to help people and see them succeed. Your support helps us turn goals into realities, particularly as we face ongoing costs and challenges related to the pandemic.

I cannot thank you enough for continuing to support our mission. In the face of so much uncertainty, you’ve continued to provide friendship that we and the people we support can be certain of.

We truly are Better Together. Together, we truly are Trinity Strong.

Sincerely,

Thane A. Dykstra, Ph.D. President and CEO
