DEAR WINGS FAMILY,

This year marked my 25th anniversary as leader of WINGS.

As I reflect, I am filled with gratitude for your steadfast support. Together, we’ve
accomplished so much for survivors of domestic violence. As we have grown,
so has our ability to provide even more programs of the highest quality to aid
survivors.

Over this year, I’ve enjoyed having monthly parties to commemorate programs we’ve started and expanded. Continuing this momentum, we have launched the Spreading Our WINGS Expansion Campaign which will sustain our impactful programming and expand our solutions to new communities.

This year we’ve achieved remarkable milestones:

Opening the Foglia Family Resource Center, providing essential
counseling services.

• Pioneering a TBI collaboration that is creating vital awareness and tools for local hospitals to ultimately better serve those affected by domestic violence and traumatic brain injuries.

• Our memorable events received awards and spread awareness. Our
Sweet Home Chicago event recognized its 20th anniversary and won a
national award.

• Our annual Celebration of Courage honored 11 survivor graduates for all they have accomplished in their time with WINGS.

Thank you to everyone who has given their time, talent and treasure this year. These are the triumphs you make possible.

With your help, we can continue to change lives and build a future where every individual has the chance to soar.

Warm regards,


Rebecca Darr
President & CEO
WINGS Program, Inc.
