Future

To Our Valued Investors and Friends: In the 70 years since Junior Achievement of Chicago was founded in 1940, a lot has changed in our economy and with the pursuit of the “American Dream,” but the need for JA’s financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship programs has only grown stronger. The recent economic uncertainties have revealed that maintaining a strong economy and healthy free market system for our children has never been more important. The 2009-2010 school year was a truly historic one for JA of Chicago, not only for reaching our 70 year milestone, but more importantly for our record-breaking student outreach and student impact results during these challenging economic times. With your continued investments and support, JA of Chicago grew student outreach to bring the total number of students served to 393,343 throughout our twelve county franchise area, a 3 percent increase over the prior year. It is an incredible testament to the Chicago

Mr. Lubin graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with honors and in 1957, from Harvard Law. A few days later, he joined Sonnenschein, at that time a firm of 30 lawyers. He has practiced with Sonnenschein continuously since then, a span of 53 years, and served in management of the firm for more than 30 years, including as Chairman from 1991 to 1996. Today, SNR Denton has over 1,400 lawyers in 30 offices around the world.

Soon after joining Sonnenschein, Mr. Lubin began doing legal work for a small hamburger chain, McDonald’s, and its founder, Ray A. Kroc. In 1967, Mr. Lubin was elected to the Board of McDonald’s. Mr. Lubin continued to serve on the McDonald’s Board until 2007, a period of 40 years, during which time McDonald’s grew to be the largest food service business in the world. Mr. Lubin is a founder of McDonald’s charitable arm, Ronald McDonald House Charities. RMHC provides support and resources to families through 300 Ronald McDonald Houses near children’s hospitals, at 150 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms and 40 Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles in 52 countries and regions around the world.

Mr. Gidwitz Sr. was a founder of Helene Curtis, (a Fortune 500 consumer products company) a growth leader at its time in the personal care industry.

Foundation that will help expand program outreach and further our collaboration with local Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) military schools.

As another unique feature of JA’s programming, both the elementary school students and the cadets reap rewards from the experience. JROTC cadets gain valuable skills through this initiative that bolster their own training goals and development as leaders.

This gift from the McCormick Foundation will be instrumental in expanding JA’s “High School Heroes” initiative, through which local JROTC high school cadets not only receive JA classroom programs, but also serve as powerful role models, volunteering with elementary school students and teaching JA programs that will help them prepare for the future.

Director of Military Instruction for JROTC Kim Harrell explained, “JROTC aims to prepare our youth to enter the global economy with valuable leadership skills, discipline, and strong mentorship to encourage them to continue their post-secondary academic careers and pursue a flourishing professional career upon graduation. It is always very gratifying to see

The McCormick Foundation grant will allow JROTC high school cadets to serve as JA volunteers in nearly 500 elementary school classrooms, impacting over 9,000 students with skills crucial to their future success.
