Dear Friends:

After 20 years, HFS Chicago Scholars continues to make a difference in the lives of

Chicago youth and we have you to thank! Each year HFS Chicago Scholars seeks out

economically disadvantaged, academically motivated 8th grade students that will uphold

the values of the program. For the past 20 years, our scholars have consistently delivered

outstanding results as they prepare for college and life with a challenging high school

curriculum, educational enrichment, and support from HFS Chicago Scholars.

“I would not have had the strength and guiding direction to persevere and achieve without the help

of HFS.” ~ James

· Andrea, a senior at Regina Dominican, travels two and a half hours each way to

school each day. She wakes up at 3:30 in the morning to begin her journey. She is a

National Honor Society member with an A grade point average. She is involved in

several clubs and performed over 70 hours of community service last year. She will

attend college in the fall of 2013.

· Jessica, a National Honor Society Scholar at Gordon Tech, has a 3.9 GPA and hopes

to attend an Ivy League School. Jessica participates in her school play, is an elected

HFS Class Officer and performed over 80 hours of community service last year.

· Tracy, a graduate of St. Ignatius College Prep, is a junior at UCLA majoring in Economics and Global Studies. With the support of HFS she learned the importance of balancing Academics and extracurricular activities, so that she could become a well- rounded person open to new experiences.

These are only a few of the dozens of stories reflecting the success of our scholars. We set

high expectations for our scholars from the day that they enter our program via our

rigorous 14 point contract demanding excellence. Last year our scholars achieved an

aggregate GPA of 3.44/ 4.0, collectively performed 4,537 hours of community service, and

100% were accepted into college.

“HFS is not only a scholarship to me; it is a family full of people who share similar life stories. They

have helped me and contributed to all my accomplishments.” ~Andrea

We hope that you are inspired by the stories of our scholars just as we are and continue to

support HFS Chicago Scholars. Thank you for your time, energy, and support. We could

not do this alone…but together we can make a difference!

Sincerely,

Desireé Pepper-Venzant Michael J. Kennelly

Executive Director Founder and Chairman

HFS SCHOLARS SUCCESS & GRATITUDE

“I graduated from De LaSalle Institute in May of 2012 with a 4.24 grade point

average. I now attend Northern Illinois University on a full ride, Chick Evans

Scholarship. I am thankful for the opportunities that HFS provided me with.”

~Bryson

“Thank you so much for your support and help, I honestly can not express how much

it means to me. I was able to attend my dream school that I worked so hard to get to

and could not have gotten there without your help. It truly means the world to me that

you were there to help me finish high school. Thank you again so much!!!”

What I’ve been up to:

2008-2012 Chi Cheng Enterprise

I worked closely with Motorola Mobility engineers as a supplier on several popular DROID

devices. As a project engineer, I coordinated with teams all over the globe to resolve engineering and logistical issues to deliver

the best possible products to market on time and as efficiently as possible.

I am currently earning my Masters of Engineering Management at Northwestern University. I'm working to gain and develop

management skills to hopefully one day lead engineering teams and successfully navigate a business environment.

After all these years, as I've had the chance to meet so many new and different people, I also began to realize how everyone and

everything in my life came together to become this big support structure. A big part of who I am is because of HFS and the

guidance that you provided during some of my most formative years. I thank you very much for that.

HFS CHICAGO SCHOLARS 6TH ANNUAL LEADERSHIP BREAKFAST

HONOREE: JAMES O’CONNOR, CHAIRMAN OF BIG SHOULDERS FUND

Page 5

HFS Chicago Scholars was honored to have James O’Connor as the keynote speaker. Jim is the former Chairman and Chief

Executive Officer of Unicom Corporation and its subsidiary, Commonwealth Edison Company, and has given a lifetime of

corporate leadership to Chicago. Mr. O’Connor is also the founding Chairman of Big Shoulders Fund, which this year celebrates

its 25th anniversary of helping Chicago’s inner-city Catholic schools. Mr. O’Connor shared his vision and passion of helping

others by way of education for thousands of Chicago kids. Over 400 guests attended this event at the Standard Club.

Other Speakers included:

Robert Johnson 2006 HFS Alum Robert, a graduate of Loyola Academy and Drake University, shared how he and his sis-

ter, also an HFS Alum, were raised in a Chicago Housing Project and overcame many obstacles to accomplish their goals.

He shared “living in the projects was my family’s fiery furnace and the angel that God sent us was HFS. The HFS Chicago

Scholarship allowed me to escape the poverty-stricken and gang infested neighborhood where we lived.” Robert further

shared that without the HFS Chicago Scholarship he would not be the man he is today.

Wendy Perez 2010 HFS Alumna Wendy is a St. Ignatius graduate and currently holds a 4.0 GPA at Northwestern

University, where she majors in Human Development and Psychological Services, in hope of becoming a Psychiatric Nurse

Practitioner. Wendy spoke of the HFS Academic Directors and her mentor who helped her throughout her high school years,

including with the college application process, and provided valuable information that guided her to where she is now.

Andrea Castillo 2013 HFS Scholar Andrea engaged the crowd by encouraging us all to think about what makes us

unique - our Sitz Im Leben (German for “Situations in life.”). Andrea attends Regina Dominican High School and commutes

two and an half hours each way to school. She is involved in several clubs, has a 4.72 Cumulative GPA, and plans to attend

University of Illinois in Champaign in the fall. Her experiences are what make her who she is and she is grateful for the

experiences that she has had with HFS.

Co-Chairs for the event included:

Karen Atwood, President

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois

Philmer Rohrbaugh, Vice Chair and Managing Partner-Chicago

KPMG LLP

Mark Wagner, President Community Management

Walgreen Co.

We appreciate our co-chairs’ involvement and

the support of everyone who attended the

HFS ASSOCIATE BOARD & MENTORS

SCHOLAR & MENTOR HIGHLIGHTS

HFS Elected Class Officers 2012-2013 Isablerose, Jessica, Cache, Natalie, Simran, Dorothy,

Nayelin, and Lauren. ~We are thankful to have been

entrusted with the task of representing HFS Chicago

Scholars, our class, and our schools.

“We are Gloria and Diego and we are attending

Loyola University in the fall with full ride

scholarships.”

They will receive full tuition, room and board, and

books at Loyola University. Diego was accepted into

the School of Business and Gloria into the School of

Nursing.

THE POWER OF MENTORING: HEATHER MCGONEGLE, HFS Mentor, HFS Associate Board Liaison Chairperson

Helping Chicago kids navigate high school. Making

new friends. Networking opportunities with peers and

Board members who are Chicago business executives.

Forming a lifetime relationship. HFS has been all of the

above to me. As an HFS mentor of Jessica for the past

3 and a half years and Associate Board chairperson, I

am now able to reflect back on how I like other mentors

have helped empower our mentees and have been

embraced by our mentees as lifetime friends.

I always tell people how proud I am of Jessica and how excited I am to see her

continue to grow up and make her dreams a reality. She really is one of the

smartest, most compassionate, funny, and coolest kids that I know. Jessica is

ambitious about her future and is interested in becoming a biomedical engineer,

neurosurgeon, or perhaps a lawyer or actress. I have a hunch she may accomplish

all of these one day!

Jessica has already started preparing herself for this future by attending pre-med

programs at U.I.C. and summer academic programs at other universities around the

country. She is not just an amazing person on paper. In person, her bubbly

personality and sense of humor are infectious. She has performed in several high

school plays, including Annie in which she played the adorable orphan Molly and

Alice in Wonderland in which she earned the crowd's applause as a slow and steady

tortoise. Jessica's hard working attitude comes from her parents and family. Her

parents emigrated from Ecuador and are raising three amazing daughters. Jessica's

older sister Joanne was also an HFS scholar and is now in her junior year on a full

scholarship at the University of Iowa majoring in Chemical engineering.

I could go on and on about how impressive Jessica is...did I mention that she also

plays soccer and volunteers regularly? I am really looking forward to being a part

of Jessica's future and seeing her continue to succeed and give back to her

community. She truly is someone that we can all root for!

HFS Chicago Scholar Mission Statement

HFS Chicago Scholars provides financial assistance and mentoring to economically disadvantaged Chicago inner-

city high school students who show academic and leadership promise to help them achieve their educational goals.

2013 Annual Casino Night May 31, 2013

Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza 7:30pm

The Big Shoulders Fund graciously established a partnership with HFS in an effort to make our one-on-one mentoring program available to more high school students. This year, Big Shoulders is providing partial scholarships to 10 HFS scholars attending Big Shoulders Fund-supported high schools. The Big Shoulders Fund, a long supporter of HFS, has been a champion for Chicago’s inner-city families since 1986.
