Dear Fellow Shareholders,

This past year has been an active one for The Dollicia F. Holloway Memorial Foundation, Inc.

One of the joys of preparing an annual report is it gives us the opportunity to look back and be thankful

for all that has been accomplished. I hope you will review the statistics and photos we have offered in

this report. During the past fiscal year, it was filled with wonderful opportunities, as well as many

challenges.

Some of the highlights were:

Technology Grant for 20 laptop computers from Comp4Kids

Walking Toward A Brighter Future® 8K Walk-A-Thon.

The H.I.P. H.O.P. Movement Gold Merit Award /Scholarship.

The Allstate Foundation “Purple Purse” Challenge.

“Build-A-Backpack” Back To School Drive.

The Long Island Business News “Around 50” Award.

In addition to the clients served, our board was busy in 2014 with efforts to strengthen our organization

which included:

Reviewing and updating our mission and by-laws

Reviewing and updating financial reporting

Addition of a conflict of interest policy

Addition of one new board members

Development of an organizational plan

As you can see, we believe in operating our organization as effectively and efficiently as possible.

In 2015, our goal for The Dollicia F. Holloway Memorial Foundation, Inc. is to look to providing

services to many of our areas citizens. We are looking for the commitment of volunteers in the upcoming

fiscal year. We also could not operate without financial support which is critical to paying expenses, such

as utilities, telecommunications and other overhead expenses. Area donors contributed more than to

support our organization in 2014.

To those of you who are not involved, I ask that you would consider volunteering and/or

financially contributing to our organization. Thank you so much and it is our delight in serving our

community.

Keith H. Burgess

On July 18, 2014, The Allstate Foundation selected The Dollicia F. Holloway Memorial Foundation, Inc.

to participate in the 2014 Purple Purse Challenge as a Community Partner. The Allstate

Foundation expressed their excitement about working together with the Advocacy Group. The Purple

Purse Challenge was designed to help get more people involved in supporting survivors with the

prevention and ending of Domestic Violence and Financial Abuse. The Allstate Foundation sent us a

$1,000 participation grant, along with three(3) Purple Purse Pocketbooks, a designer Purple Purse Clutch

Pocketbook, designed by actress, Kerry Washington(of “SCANDAL”), One hundred(100)Purple Purse

charms, which had stories attached to the tassels from various Domestic Violence Survivors.

On September 2, 2014, The Dollicia F. Holloway Memorial Foundation, Inc. was given the opportunity

to set up a Crowd funding page on the Crowdrise website (www.crowdrise.com/purplepurse-

dolliciafholloway). Using social media (Facebook, Twitter) and our corporate website, we were able to

expose the event so participants could donate and set up fundraising teams to help the Foundation raise

funds to create financial literacy programs for survivors of Domestic Violence and Financial Abuse.

Participants had the opportunity of sending in donations to support the campaign entitled, “The Power

of the P.U.R.S.E.”, which stands for “People “UR” Sent to Educate, Equip & Empower.”

As of October 3, 2014, The Dollicia F. Holloway Memorial Foundation, Inc. was able to raise $200.00

from nine (9) donations through the Purple Purse Challenge.

Giving Back To the Com m unity

On September 7, 2014, The Dollicia F. Holloway Memorial Foundation, Inc’s youth initiative, The H.I.P. H.O.P. Movement Youth Program, hosted their first “Build-A-Backpack” Back to School Drive at Smith Street Park in Uniondale.

The Project Leaders, Keith & Altanya Burgess, wanted to provide children with much needed back to school supplies who may not have been as fortunate to receive from local school supply stores. Mr. Burgess stated, “It was joy to serve our community in this capacity. I was always fortunate as a child to receive a book bag, along with a variety of school supplies every year. I removed myself from “being fortunate” out of the way and my wife and I wanted to do something selfless to impact the community where we were raised.”

Mrs. Burgess stated, “The smiles on the faces of the parents, as well as the children, were worth more than a thousand words. We are truly grateful to be in a position to give back to our community.”

The backpacks were graciously donated by HealthFirst, out of Hempstead, New York, along with Target, who were generous enough to donate a variety of school supplies, such as pencils, folders, crayons and spiral notebooks, which were personally donated by event supporter, Mrs. Sharon Leid. Each child received a custom lanyard, which read “The H.I.P. H.O.P. Movement”

Mr. Sheldon Henderson, an Insurance Agent from National Income Life Insurance Company out of Flushing, New York, provided services and information to parents regarding child safety. Each parent that signed up during the back to school program had an opportunity to take advantage of the Child Safety Kit, which offered helpful tips on registering their child’s information with their local Police Department.

Mr. Henderson stated, “When a child is abducted, it takes exactly 24 hours for a child’s information to be retrieved. Having a Child Safety Kit will help save a child’s life in the midst of an abduction.”

The “Build-A-Backpack” Back to School Drive was fortunate enough to serve 27 children with Backpacks. Other information provided in all of the backpacks was an affordable dental discount flyer, courtesy of Ameriplan.

One parent, who shared information about the “Build-A-Backpack” Back to School Drive with their community, stated, “There were so many people who were so grateful for this event!” Another parent, who just came to Smith Street Park to play with her children, stated, “It was truly a blessing how I just wanted to take my children to the park and God allowed me to walk away with more than I could have imagine for my children.”

Mr. Burgess echoed the mission statement of their youth initiative, “Helping Individuals Prosper and Honoring Others Potential is H.I.P. H.O.P.
