BGCC employees at General Wood Valentine Club community engagement project 6 | Boys & Girls ClubS of Chicago Q&A with the gantz family Bill and Linda Gantz gifted $2.5 million to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago endowment, ensuring the availability of life changing youth programming and service for years to come. A commitment through generations When Linda Gantz joined the Woman’s Board of Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago in 1988, she had no idea she would be bringing her family on a multi-generational journey of service, commitment, and generosity that would span more than 25 years. We sat down with Linda and her husband, Bill, their daughters Caroline Burns and Leslie McLamore, and five of their grandchildren to hear more about what Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago means to the Gantz family. Why did you first get involved with Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago (BGCC)? In 1988, my youngest child, Caroline, left home for college. My children were all out of the house, and I needed to focus my energy on something new. My longtime friend, Bonnie Stearns, was already serving on the Woman’s Board at BGCC, and encouraged me to get involved. It struck a chord for me: it was a way I could give back and help those less fortunate discover their path to success. What has motivated you to stay involved with the organization for so long? Six years ago, I listened to one of our Club members, David Rojas, share his story at a Board meeting. Here is a wonderful and dynamic young man who has endured a traumatic life event that most of us cannot imagine. But because of his Boys & Girls Club, he was able to overcome that, to move forward with his life in a positive way. He went on to college, and is now working at one of our Clubs to support younger kids the way he felt supported in his youth. Is there anything better than that? Your daughter Caroline recently joined the Woman’s Board, and you have brought some of your grandchildren to the Youth of the Year event to hear Club members tell their story. Why is it important that your whole family be a part of this organization? I feel we have an obligation to give back. Not everyone grows up in a supportive household. Not everyone has access to opportunity. Many children are forced to go without. It is important for me to share the experience of Youth of the Year with my kids and grandkids so they can see the incredible impact BGCC has on every child who walks through the doors of a Boys & Girls Club. How would you like your family to carry on this legacy in the future? My daughters are both passionate about this legacy of giving. My grandchildren love meeting BGCC Club members and are always asking about ways they can help. Caroline and Leslie both set an example for their children, showing them how to be compassionate and how to make an impact. Caroline is excited to join the Woman’s Board and see that the organization will continue to thrive. If there is one thing you could tell people about why they should support Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, what would it be? Your contribution doesn’t have to be enormous to make a huge impact. You take that first step, and you help one child. And that’s what it’s all about: one child at a time. You walk into the Club, you see their smiling faces, you hear their laughter, and you know that you have made a difference that will last a lifetime. 2014 Annual report | 7 2014 Youth of the Year: “The Boys & Girls Clubs staff is like family to me. They have helped me through the most difficult situations.” – Shakhari Edwards Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago’s premier annual program recognizes members for their involvement and contributions to their respective Clubs and their academic performance. Each year, Clubs select a Youth of the Year (ages 14-18) and a Junior Youth of the Year (ages 11-13). Participants write essays and speak publicly to support their nomination for the Chicago Youth of the Year. The winner participates in regional and national Youth of the Year competitions to win scholarships. The five national finalists travel to Washington D.C. to meet the President. Shakhari Edwards, 17, became a member of the Daniel A. Cotter Boys & Girls Club when she was 7 years old. She graduated with a 3.9 GPA from North-Grand High School. She credits several Club staffers with serving as her mentors, helping her overcome shyness, and serving as support when she needed it most. Shakhari’s leadership qualities and 8 | Boys & Girls ClubS of Chicago compassion for others have led her to the field of pediatric nursing, which she will begin studying at Chicago State University in the fall. Juan Espinoza, 16, a 10-year member of the General Robert E. Wood Boys & Girls Club in Pilsen, was named Youth of the Year runner-up. Juan said the Club has helped him overcome a learning disability caused by lead poisoning at a very young age. He attributes Club staff, sports, and music programs for helping him become the confident volunteer and achiever he is today. “Attending a four-year or two-year college is a big step forward for someone with the intentions of greater heights.” – Shakhari Edwards Media coverage Financials Operating Expenses Breakout 2014 Physical And Social Development $ 4,698,484 Supplementary Education 2,830,833 Administrative1,319,535 Community Development And Organization 2014 Youth of the Year candidates 671,213 Fundraising1,302,311 Shakhari Edwards, the 2014 Boys & Girls Club of Chicago Youth of the Year Winner, on how the organization has changed her life. The following is a speech given by Shakhari Edwards, the winner of the 2014 Youth of the Year Competition, at the March 4 Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago gala. My Boys & Girls Club, the Daniel A. Cotter Club, has positively impacted the person I am today. Having supportive people around has helped me overcome difficulties and has increased my confidence and drive to succeed. I do not know what type of person I would be today if I had not attended the Cotter Club. During grade school, I struggled to maintain good grades. I wasn’t focused on my education. I would often be put down by family members and close friends who would make me feel worthless when I tried to improve. I felt as if I had no one to turn to. As a result, I had to attend summer school before I started the seventh grade. As I struggled to make my family proud, I encountered a devastating tragedy that would change my life forever. On August 15, 2008, my brother, Aramis Edwards, was murdered. I was 12 years old and I did not understand what was happening until the day of the funeral. I then realized I wasn’t getting my brother back. Co-Chairs Ben Buettell, Mayor Rahm Emanuel addresses Julia A. Christopher, and William R.

The Summer Ball is the Clubs’ largest annual fundraiser, generating critical support for programs offered to more than 1,600 youth each day at 18 Boys & Girls Club locations throughout Chicago. Club programs allow boys and girls in some of the city’s most economically challenged communities to develop into successful, caring, and responsible citizens. The Woman’s Board of Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago was formed in 1949 at the request of Brigadier General Robert E. Wood, CEO of Sears Roebuck and founder of Allstate Insurance, to provide community service to young Chicago boys, specifically those who lost a father in World War II. Since its formation in 1949, the Woman’s Board has raised more than $75 million to support life-enhancing after-school programs in a safe and nurturing environment, led by caring and devoted adult professionals. 10 | Boys & Girls ClubS of Chicago (Left to right:) Virginia Bobins, Charlene Huang Olson, Cathy Osborn Ellen and Jim O’Connor This year’s Summer Ball paid tribute to over six decades of service and leadership.

Guests heard an inspirational speech and a personal success story from 2014 Youth of the Year Winner, Shakhari Edwards, whose life has been positively impacted by membership at the Daniel A. Cotter Club. The event benefited Keystone Clubs, a program comprised of group leadership and service clubs for adolescents to elect officers, plan and implement activities, and contribute something of value to others. Activities involve service to Club and community, leadership development, education and career exploration, unity, free enterprise, and social interaction. The Guild Board membership is comprised of 62 business and civic leaders who actively engage in raising awareness and funding for BGCC. The annual Lawn Ball has raised over $2.7 million since it began in 2004.
