Years of Empowering the Future
Valued Friends & Investors We did it! It is with great excitement that we share this year’s 75th Anniversary achievements with you! Incredible — that’s 75 years of teaching students about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship through the generosity of thousands of volunteers. Whether you volunteered in a classroom, were a recipient of the program, coordinated volunteers, or allowed JA into your classroom, we thank you for your support. This year, we far surpassed our goal of reaching 515,000 students, as we delivered our programs to a record 538,984 students! Thomas E. Richards Chairman and CEO, CDW Corporation Chairman, Junior Achievement of Chicago (term beginning January 1, 2016)
Sandy L. Daffé President, Junior Achievement of Chicago
David W. Nelms Chairman and CEO, Discover Financial Services Chairman, Junior Achievement of Chicago (term ending December 31, 2015)
As you will see on page 12, alumni have reconnected with JA to share their stories of success, many of whom now volunteer for the organization. These former recipients of our programs are excited to see digital additions to the JA curriculum, such as online Learning Management Systems and mobile apps. These innovations were introduced last year with the re-imagination of the JA Company Program and will expand to JA Global Marketplace and JA Personal Finance this school year. We also launched our year-long Take Your Work to Kids campaign this year, which you may have seen on TV, heard on the radio,
read in the newspaper, or noticed on billboards and CTA platforms! This marketing campaign was made possible through the generosity and creativity of Leo Burnett Worldwide and Starcom USA. We are proud that our financial status continues to be strong while achieving a record low cost-per-student of only $12.50. Additionally, we are humbled to say that as of August 2015, over 50 donors have pledged a collective $6 million to our endowment for our special 75th Anniversary Campaign. These gifts will ensure that JA programs taught by retirees, high school students, and college students can continue to make an impact for decades to come. The celebration of our success during this anniversary year will culminate on October 7, 2015 for our 75th Anniversary Dinner (more information on page 36). It will be a fantastic evening showcasing everything that is so great about JA and inducting our dear friend, David Speer, into the Chicago Business Hall of Fame. Thank you for sharing in the celebration of 75 years of Taking Your Work to Kids!

ABOUT THE ARTWORK The artwork used in this year’s annual report was designed by our friends at Leo Burnett Worldwide for our Take Your Work To Kids Day marketing campaign. Because of their generosity, in addition to Starcom USA and FleishmanHillard, JA received incredible marketing and PR reach during our landmark 75th year. Thank you to Leo Burnett Worldwide, Starcom USA, and FleishmanHillard for your support!
75 YearS of Taking Work to Kids JA was chartered on April 26, 1940, making 2015 our 75th anniversary. We celebrated the milestone by bringing JA programs to 76 Chicago Public Schools during the week of April 26, 2015, reaching 38,652 students with the help of 1,670 volunteers — all in one week! The week kicked off with a press conference at West Park Academy of Fine Arts. Speakers included Dr. Joyce Booker-Thomas, Principal of West Park Academy, Sandy Daffé, President of Junior Achievement of Chicago, JA Board Member Jeff Malehorn, President and CEO of World Business Chicago, David Vitale, who served as President of Chicago Board of Education, and our wonderful student speaker, 5th grader Hannah Surratt!
Thank you to all the corporate, community, college, and high school volunteers that participated during our anniversary week! JA is grateful for the support of the schools and volunteers below that made our 75th Anniversary Week a great success! Thank you to PwC Charitable Foundation, Inc. for generously sponsoring 10 schools and to Apollo Education Group for a grant that helped underwrite the week’s activities. We are also grateful to Terry Mazany, President and CEO of The Chicago Community Trust, for his leadership as co-chair of the Anniversary Week and for the Trust’s generous support of our 75th Anniversary.

4th Annual High School Competition On April 17, 2015, volunteers representing 15 different companies provided their expertise at the JA You’re Hired! Workplace Skills Challenge. The competition gave students the opportunity to practice professional development skills through competitive workshops in areas such as business etiquette, product development, interviewing skills, and ethical decision making. In the JA Titan Competition, students competed in a virtual market simulation, making tough business decisions. Groups from York High School in Elmhurst took first and second place and Lyons Township High School in LaGrange took third place. The JA Company Program Competition judged the skills and business plans of four schools’ JA Company Program businesses. Additionally, YOUnique Frames from Manteno High School in Manteno won awards at this event and went on to win second place at the national JA competition (pictured right).

Whole School Partnership A Whole School Partnership is unique because companies can adopt an entire school in the neighborhood where they do business. Every student at a chosen school benefits from JA’s programs, while company employees have the opportunity to develop a special bond with the community they serve. This year, 600 Whole Schools partnered with JA in our Whole School Program. The Whole School Partners listed in the following pages made significant financial and volunteer contributions during the 2014-2015 school year, enabling JA to provide an entire school of students with the tools they need to build their dreams.

75th ANNIVERSARY DONORS
At the forefront of our plans to celebrate JA’s success over the past 75 years and “sow the seeds” for the next 25 years of impact, is a special $7.5M campaign for JA’s endowment fund which has been established to ensure that JA can continue growing its programs. This campaign has been launched to fund in perpetuity JA’s growing resource of high school, college, and community volunteers who provide volunteer services without a traditional funding source. On Wednesday, October 7, 2015, JA will hold a celebration event to commemorate the success of our 75th Anniversary initiatives and to provide additional support and recognition for the campaign being co-chaired by Susan Crown, W. James Farrell, and John D. Nichols.

The dinner will feature acknowledgments of all former Chicago Business Hall of Fame inductees, and it will celebrate the life and legacy of David B. Speer, who served as Chairman and CEO of ITW and Vice Chairman of JA of Chicago. David’s story of success and his commitment to Chicago’s philanthropic community will be told by Junior Achievement students from the ITW David Speer Academy, which was launched as part of the Noble Network of Charter Schools in August of 2014. The celebration of David’s life will culminate with the students providing a posthumous induction of David into the Chicago Business Hall of Fame.
