JACK AND JILL OF AMERICA FOUNDATIONAnnual Report | June 2008-May 2009

In 2009, we have continued the legacy of giving back to our communities in the areas of leadership development but this year we have championed two additional causes, financial literacy and childhood obesity. In the coming months, the Foundation will initiate educational workshops, in conjunction with schools, community centers, Jack and Jill of America chapters and not-for-profit organizations to teach the fundamentals of financial literacy and healthy lifestyles with America’s children.

We welcomed our newest community members and our members-at-large from all seven regions to our Board. The success of the Foundation is the product of the talent and resources from our Board of Trustees. They contribute financially to the growth of the Foundation and continue to seek ways to provide outside resources, opportunities and benefits to continue the mission of our organization.

Inside this annual report, you will hear about the many partnerships our Foundation is engaging, the scholarship recipients and our grantees for 2009. Jack and Jill of America Foundation’s mission cannot be accomplished as well alone, as through collaboration, alliance and support of like-minded, well-respected corporations. Thank you for your generous support of our programs and grantees!

This year also brought about our new website. We encourage you to visit our website often at www.jackandjillfoundation.org for information, access to our 2009 projects, information about our partners and to make a secure on-line donation. We hope that you register for updates on our News page to hear how your Foundation is serving our nation’s at-risk communities.

It is with sincere appreciation for helping make this a wonderful and successful 2008-2009 program year.

With warm regards,

President, Board of Trustees

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT

To promote the excellent preparation of succeeding generations of children as leaders, in all walks of life, so that they may attain their fullest potential as individuals, enjoy rewarding and fulfilling lives, and contribute to world peace,

progress, and prosperity.

LETTER FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The past year has been one of significant milestones for the Jack and Jill of America Foundation, Inc. , during this tough economy we were presented with many challenges. In the face of a recession, were presented with a tight budget, but we embraced ways to streamline in order to keep providing the services that make us an integral part of America’s youth. I am gratified to say that, with the help of our donors and the unwavering support of the Board of Trustees we came away stronger and smarter.

Although we had to make sacrifices, we kept a steady focus on our mission and provided scholarships to students going to colleges such as Harvard University, University of Richmond, and Columbia University; supported financial literacy projects such as “Ready, Set, Save” in Texas; funded ACT preparatory classes in Oakland, CA; and a mentor program in Columbia, Maryland to name a few.

Along with our fundraising methods, our Foundation has embraced some innovative tools. We encourage Jack and Jill of America, Inc. alumni to join us on facebook at www.facebook.com/jackandjillers and also to visit our website at www.jackandjillfoundation.org to get active and stay engaged with foundation events and activities. Social media is the new frontier of communication and Jack and Jill of America Foundation is responding.

On behalf of the communities and children we serve, thank you for your generous gifts. We strive to make a difference in the lives of children…every day.

With great appreciation,

Executive Director

ADERONKE ADERONMU – UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKLEY

Aderonke graduated from Burbank High School in Burbank, CA with a 3.91 grade point average and was awarded a $2,500 scholarship from Jack and Jill of America Foundation. She is leaning towards majoring in Chemistry. Here is an excerpt from her essay…

“Knowledge is power. Without it, success is unreachable. Especially in the black com-munity, marked by the stigma of ignorance and apathy, education is the only way to move up the ladder that is the American dream. The sad truth is that African Ameri-cans are among the lowest percentage of college enrolled students and because of this, the black community is not well represented in professional fields such as politics or medicine because there are so few well-educated African Americans to take those positions. As an immigrant from a country that has suffered the darkness that results from illiteracy, I have seen that the lack of knowledge is a breeding ground for failure, regression, and corruption. “

Aderonke Aderonmu – freshman at UC Berkley“My favorite aspect of academic life is a Cal Teach program I’m in that allows me to mentor with and teach at a Berkeley Unified School District middle school, and I feel so blessed to watching the inner city students I tutor grow.”

ROSE BAMFO – HARVARD UNIVERSITY

Arbor, MI with a 3.85 grade point average, an actress, an athlete and a fundraiser for her high school. As a published author, she wrote a paper on “Therapeu-tic Lifestyle Changes Diet vs. Atkins Diet for Efficacy of Cholesterol Lowering.” Ethnicity & Disease. 18.S1 (2008) for the National Institutes of Health.

Rose believes that leadership from the African Ameri-cans is pivotal in the African American community.

Offering educational workshops and mentoring students can reduce high school drop-out rate. An education advocacy group founded by Colin Powell (former secretary of State), indicate that only 52% of public high school students graduate in four years. By increasing the number of black high school graduates, we can begin a virtuous cycle. When a large number of people in the black community become well educated, they can serve the rest of the community.
