From the halls of Mercy Home to the walls of the Betty Rymer Gallery, nine Mercy home youth are officially artists on display. These nine young men were part of art therapy led by a youth care worker who is working toward her Master of Arts degree in Art Therapy.
This mural portrays how Chicago has affected their lives, teaching them ownership, teamwork, and increased self-awareness.
It’s now on display until June 5 at SAIC’s The Art of Connection Gallery

Social media is and can be a fundamental ingredient for non-profit
success. Social applications like Facebook are enabling enormous
activities to happen quickly, especially if they are viral in nature and
essentially manage themselves after you start them. Social media is just
one ingredient of an overall web strategy. Emphasis should be placed on
social media, while keeping an eye on fundamentals, a strong foundation in
place with a website, volunteer management, event registration, etc.
Continued mobilization of the students and adults with fundraising
activities that interest and capture their social conscience is always at the
top of our list, as well as the successful use of creative thinking in using
golf carts.

Silent auctions - a valuable revenue stream that will be used in the future
with items people cannot find elsewhere, or they consider priceless .
Examples : backstage passes to the ballet, or the opportunity for two people
to play basketball with two members of the local professional team.
Area needing more direct approach – “host committee” or one or more
“chair committee chairperson.” They encourage other donors –
business leaders – local celebrities. Main goal – insure the fundraising
goals . Ticket sales procedures – accepting donations. Thank you notes
The ongoing challenge – staying organized at all times – moving forward.
Financial goals were met – to help transform the lives of the children from
pain and despair into lives of hope and promise.
