“Everybody
needs beauty... places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike.”
Dear Friend of Hephzibah,
35
Number of garden
lovers who gave
generously of their
time, energy and
talent to create
the Alex Anderson
Memorial Garden at
Hephzibah Home.

“THERE IS SOMETHING INFINITELY HEALING IN THE REPEATED REFRAIN OF
NATURE — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
These words were written half a century ago by naturalist Rachel Carson. Yet
they still resonate today, perhaps because so many of us are suffering from a “nature
deficit.” Urbanization, the rise of technology and a fear of “stranger danger” have all
conspired to drive us indoors and away from the natural world.
Just breathing in the oxygen created by plants and trees or watching a butterfly
alight on a flower makes us feel more optimistic, alert and alive. Studies show that
a connection with nature promotes physical and mental well-being — and makes us
kinder and more caring as our values shift from a focus on personal gain to a deeper
connection with the world around us.
Nature’s healing influences are especially important for the children living in
our group homes — children who have been severely traumatized by neglect, abuse,
abandonment, disrupted adoptions and multiple failed foster care placements.
In FY14, these young survivors of neglect and abuse experienced the healing
power of nature firsthand — thanks to a committed group of garden lovers who
created the Alex Anderson Memorial Garden at Hephzibah Home. We hope you’ll
turn to page four of our report to learn more about this living tribute to the gentle,
nurturing nature of the late Alex Anderson, a beloved and sorely missed former
member of our Day Care team.
As the children in our group homes were nurtured by nature in their new garden,
they also reaped the rewards of many other opportunities for growth, healing and
enrichment. We kicked off the second year of our One Book, One Hephzibah summer
reading program with the children’s book “Jack’s Garden,” a tale about a boy who
plants a garden and watches it grow. We expanded our Technology Program, which
pairs our children with volunteer Technology Mentors who teach them the skills
they’ll need to become tech-savvy citizens of the digital age.
It’s a heartbreaking reality that 75 percent of all neglected and abused children
are separated from one or more of their siblings when they enter the child welfare
system. The effects of this separation can be devastating for children who are already
mourning the loss of their parents, their peers and their communities. To help mend

these broken family bonds, Hephzibah founded
Number of neglected and
an annual sibling camp that reunites brothers
abused children who found
and sisters living in different group, foster or
a safe haven in our
adoptive homes. In FY14, 56 children reunited
Diagnostic Treatment Center
with their siblings at this rustic overnight camp
and Residence
in northern Illinois and created shared memories
that will last a lifetime.
Meanwhile, teens from our Foster Care program were having a different
kind of camp experience at Camp Old Navy. This partnership between Gap, Inc.
and local youth organizations brings disadvantaged teens into Old Navy stores
for a half-day vocational prep program that helps them develop job readiness
skills and explore career opportunities.
We also nurtured and enriched more than 600 children from diverse
socioeconomic backgrounds through Hephzibah’s nationally recognized Day
Care program. Last year, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of this awardwinning program, which began with 12 school-aged children in 1974. Since that
time, generations have benefited from our innovative Day Care curriculum,
including award-winning Chicago Tribune editorial cartoonist Joe Fournier and
Faith Cole, who is continuing the tradition of helping children achieve their
full potential as principal of Oak Park’s Horace Mann Elementary School. Our
waiting list for this critically important community resource, which provides
high-quality day care services on a sliding scale after school and during the
summer months, has grown so long that we could easily double our enrollment.
We formed a special committee in FY14 to study the feasibility of finding
additional day care space to accommodate more children of working parents.
Once again in FY14, our
corporate and community partners
stepped forward to provide
invaluable service and support for
our mission. The members of the
Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club raised

Number of community
and corporate partners
that enhanced the lives of
Hephzibah’s children with
vital support and services
$262,000 for educational programming during the second year of their
two-year commitment to Hephzibah and spent countless hours engaged in
service projects to enhance the lives of the children in our group homes. A
team of volunteers from Ecolab, a new corporate partner, deep cleaned the
kitchen at Hephzibah Home during the winter holidays and returned in the
spring to inspire and amaze our children with a dazzling array of chemistry
experiments. The Neighborhood Giving Project, a new community partner,
inspired our children to be better citizens of the world with hands-on
community service projects such as making dog and cat toys and treats for
the homeless pets at the Animal Care League and Earth Day conservation
activities.
As the need for our services continues to grow, our staff has been
working diligently behind the scenes to raise awareness of Hephzibah’s
mission and generate critically needed support for our programs. We
enhanced our presence in social media, added a Foster Fridays section to our
Facebook page to recruit more foster parents and launched an endowment
campaign to sustain Hephzibah’s services for the children and families of
tomorrow.
We hope you will take a few moments to browse through this report to learn
more about the many ways that our benefactors, boards, staff, corporate and
community partners and volunteers helped children thrive and families flourish
throughout the fiscal year.
Thank you for your generous support!

The Alex Anderson Memorial Garden
A community unites to create a healing oasis at Hephzibah Home
S
tudies have shown that children’s stress
levels fall within minutes of seeing green spaces — and
that immersion in the natural world can be as effective as
medication or therapy in treating depression and anxiety. Yet
many of the traumatized children we serve have never taken a walk
in the woods, canoed down a quiet river or planted a garden and
watched it grow.
In September 2013, Hephzibah Development Director Molly
Philosophos decided that it was time to harness the healing power
of nature for these traumatized children by building a community
garden at Hephzibah Home.
Transforming the hard-packed soil in Hephzibah’s backyard into
a fertile growing space was no easy task, so Philosophos enlisted the
aid of the fellow members of her Oak Park-River Forest Community
Foundation Community Leadership Team, as well as Root-Riot (a
local community garden organization), the Oak Park River Forest
Food Pantry, the Oak Park-River Forest Community Foundation
and Dominican University. This committed group of community
organizations and garden lovers generously agreed to share their
financial resources and pick up their garden tools to bring the
project to fruition.
The group spent several chilly spring weekends building fences
and preparing the garden beds under the guidance of Root-Riot
cofounders Amy Beltemacchi and Seamus Ford. Oak Park River
Forest Food Pantry Executive Director Michele Zurakowski pitched
in with other food pantry volunteers, while Dominican University
administrator Kathleen Mullaney and Oak Park-River Forest
Community Foundation Donor and Grants Officer Rhea Yapp dug
in with an enthusiastic group of university students. Together, they
hauled in fresh soil and mulch, tucked young plants donated by
Root-Riot and Hoy Landscaping into their garden beds and taught
the children about soil composition. Master gardener Don Nekrosius
stopped by to give the children a short course on worm composting.
The garden was dedicated in May 2013 and named in honor
of the late Alex Anderson—a former Day Care staff member and a
longtime volunteer in our group homes.
“This amazing group of community partners has transformed
Hephzibah’s backyard into a living oasis that will benefit our
children immeasurably,” says Hephzibah Executive Director Mary
Anne Brown. “We are deeply grateful for their gifts of time, talent
and financial resources to bring nature within reach for the children
we serve.”

The Road to
Independence
W
hen teens “age out” of foster care, state services such as
housing, food, medical care and caseworker support abruptly cease —
and these vulnerable young people are left to fend for themselves
in a complex and often confusing world. The road to self-reliance is
riddled with challenges that range from filling out job applications to budgeting for
daily necessities to navigating the college search and application process.
To help Hephzibah foster teens make a successful transition to adulthood,
Hephzibah launched The Road to Independence in February 2014. During the eightweek program, five teens got a crash course in life skills
such as finding affordable housing, obtaining employment,
mapping out education and career goals, managing
money, accessing community resources and making
healthy and responsible decisions. We are grateful to the Hephzibah board member
who funded this life skills program for helping our foster
teens become responsible, resilient and engaged members
of society.

at your peas. Drink your
milk. Brush your teeth.
Most of us remember
the constant nudging from our
parents to eat well and practice
good habits and hygiene. But
many of the children living in
our group homes—who have
been removed from unhealthy
home environments where they
endured neglect or abuse—do
not have healthy lifestyle habits
or healthy relationships with their
bodies. To empower them to make
positive choices, the medical staff
at the West Suburban Medical
Center conducted a Healthy Living
Program at Hephzibah, with
sessions devoted to topics such as
Getting to Know Your Body, Your
Body and Exercise, Healthy Eating
and General Hygiene, as well as
age-appropriate sex education.
We’re grateful to West Suburban
Medical Center for giving our
children the guidance they need
to lead safer, healthier and
happier lives.

School of Rock in Oak
Park gives every child
in our group homes
an opportunity to be a
rock star.
Inspiring Kids to ROCK
on Stage and in Life
H
ow do you make young survivors of neglect and abuse feel like
rock stars? By sending them to Oak Park’s School of Rock— a new community
partner that is using music to inspire and empower the children living in our
group homes.
Through the generosity of School of Rock owner Amy Renzulli, the children at
Hephzibah Home are reaping the benefits of the school’s unique program, which gives
children of all ages and skill levels opportunities to master the techniques of rock and roll
while developing their problem-solving and interpersonal skills.
“Our music teachers have just fallen in love with Hephzibah’s kids,” says Renzulli, a
former member of Hephzibah’s Oak Park Auxiliary Board. “We’re all so glad they’re here.
We’re looking forward to growing this partnership so that we can do even more.”
Thank you, School of Rock, for giving our children an opportunity to let their spirits and
passion for music run wild. Through this exciting new partnership, we hope Hephzibah’s
kids will have many more opportunities to rock on!

day of sports, socializing and more
at our Chicago Auxiliary Board’s 7th
annual Dodgeball Tournament. This
year, our dodgeball fundraiser coincided
with the Big Dig, Chicago’s largest
beach volleyball tournament. Thanks
to the generosity of Big Dig organizer
Players Sports & Social Group, our event
participants had access to many Big Dig
activities, including volleyball, live music
and dancing. With the support of our
dodgeballers and the generosity of event
sponsors Mesirow Financial, SG360
and Sloan Valve Company—as well as
refreshment sponsors Mariano’s and
Midwest Foods — our Summer 2014
tournament raised more than $9,000 to
help make our mission possible.

race sponsors W.R. Berkley Corporation Charitable Foundation, adidas,
Greentarget Global Group, Per Se Group, Spot Trading and Scheck

$30,000+
In May 2014, members of the Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club presented Hephzibah with
a final check for $262,000 as the club wrapped up its two-year commitment of service
and support.
An Extraordinary Gift
of Service and Support
T
he Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club is a powerful force for
good in the Chicago area, supporting organizations in need with
service projects and hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations
each year.
In Spring 2012, we were notified that this committed group of nearly 200
women had selected Hephzibah as its next philanthropic beneficiary. Over
the course of the past two years, the club’s members have raised a remarkable
$412,000 for Hephzibah and dedicated countless hours of their time to
enrichment activities, life skills
training and recreational events
for the children living in our
group homes.
Thank you, Hinsdale
Amount raised for Hephzibah by the
Junior Woman’s Club, for your
Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club
extraordinary commitment
to our children, for your generous financial support and for your warmth and
friendship over the past two years. The children at Hephzibah Home will
continue to benefit from your generosity and service for many years to come.

The Sandwich King
Competes for Hephzibah’s Kids
I
f you’re a foodie, a Food Network devotee, an improv comedy fan or simply a
sandwich lover, you’ve probably heard of Jeff Mauro— host of the Food Network’s
Emmy-nominated television show, The Sandwich King, as well as $24 in 24 and the wildly
successful talk show, The Kitchen.
Mauro—whose colorful past includes stints as a stand-up comic, cast member of
the interactive theater show Tony and Tina’s Wedding, corporate chef and deli co-owner — has
made a habit out of naming Hephzibah as the beneficiary of his prize money whenever he
competes in a Food Network cooking contest.
Last year, the 30-something sandwich chef won $3,000 for Hephzibah during a cook-off
with three other Food Network star chefs. He recently competed for Hephzibah in Cutthroat
Kitchen, a new Food Network series featuring four chef contestants. The show has yet to air,
so Mauro is keeping mum about the outcome.
Mauro’s ties with Hephzibah go back to childhood.
“I play for Hephzibah because my mother, Pam, was on the
board there when I was younger,” explains Mauro, who grew up in
River Forest. “She would often bring me along on weekends with
my siblings, and we would spend the day playing with the other
children, just hanging out, laughing and yucking it up! As we got
older, we learned more about the mission of Hephzibah Home. I
will forever have a special place in my heart for Hephzibah and the
children it serves.”

A Glittering
Gala on a Snowy Night
W
hat’s a little snow when there are kids who need us? That seemed to be the
sentiment of the 350 loyal supporters who braved a winter storm on March 1 to
attend our 2014 Heart of Gold Ball.
Clad in sleek tuxedos and elegant evening gowns—with just a few telltale snow crystals in their hair—they joined their fellow revelers in the Bridgeport Art Center’s
dramatic Skyline Loft for a night of cocktails, live and silent auctions, dinner and dancing to the
music of The Becca Kaufman Orchestra.
We are deeply grateful to the dedicated members of our Oak Park Auxiliary for making this
beautiful evening happen; to Heart of Gold sponsors McDonald’s Corporation, the Hephzibah
Foundation, US Bank and Sidley Austin for underwriting our gala expenses; to our 21 table
sponsors for their generous contributions totaling $52,500; and to our winter-hardy gala guests
for their unwavering commitment to children and families in need.
