Posted by Stacey Rago on Oct 30, 2016 2:00:00 PM

 

 Last night, while the Chicago Cubs were making history by playing the first game in the 2016 World Series, the Chicago Charity Challenge also entered the history books with the equivalent of a Grand Slam in our world of corporate workplace giving!
The Chicago Charity Challenge was announced as the People’s Choice for the Chicago Innovation Awards! We were honored in the Innovation Awards’ Civic Affairs category and were selected as The People’s Choice after more than 46,000 votes were cast in that category. The Chicago Charity Challenge is among an elite group of 25 winners chosen from more than 600 nominees.
We are so honored by this distinction and feel that it is a true tribute to the value of our unique platform, which is only three years old!
The Chicago Charity Challenge was created to engage employees in a deeper dive into philanthropy by capitalizing on the competitive spirit alive and well in corporate America. This award validates the need that we are serving; the Chicagoland community is looking for a unique workplace giving initiative like ours. Thank you to everyone who participates in the Challenge, to our funders and others who support our work, to our Board and staff, and to everyone who voted for us!
Please take a moment to read and share our press release, and to encourage people in your network to sign up for next year’s challenge and learn more about what we do. Together we can continue to accelerate service to the entire nonprofit community.
Registration for our 2017 season is now open at www.chicagochacha.org. Let’s continue to expand the impact of our one-of-a-kind annual competition that makes giving a team sport.

The Madonna of Fullerton Avenue

Posted by Ed Wynn on Aug 12, 2016 12:27:50 PM

I was extremely skeptical of “Madonna” sightings until 2005. But Easter Week of that year a figure of the Virgin Mary appeared under the overpass at Fullerton Avenue and the Kennedy Expressway—the exit for Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago. My daughter, Sarah, who had an extremely severe case of acute viral myocarditis, was dying with little hope of recovery. Yet, as the figure of the Madonna became more visible between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, Sarah began her miraculous recovery.
 
My skepticism certainly hasn’t disappeared but it’s waned. That sign, exactly where it was and how it became more visible in proportion to Sarah’s recovery, inspired my belief in a relationship between the “Madonna of Fullerton Avenue” and Sarah’s recovery.

Expectations Fuel Perception

Posted by Ken Moss on Aug 11, 2015 11:44:04 AM

Perception is reality – we’ve all heard the phrase before. Right, wrong, or indifferent, perception is reality. Perception can create good will and positivity in a client/vendor partnership as well as facilitate growth in relationships, and be the catalyst for success. Yet other times, perception can taint experiences, it can strain relationships, and it can destroy partnerships. If left unchecked, false perceptions can be the bane of an organization’s existence. So what do you do about perception if it’s negative? Do nothing – leave it alone and let it fester? No. The answer, simply put, is to manage perception.
