USO of Illinois 2013 Annual Report4

letter from chairman of the board

2013 was an amazing year for the USO of Illinois and we want to thank everyone who made the organization such a success! Operating six service centers in the state of Illinois, the USO of Illinois’ programs and services touch the lives of over 300,000 active duty, guard and reserve military and their families. We are grateful to the more than 600 volunteers who provide over 40,000 hours of service.

We extend a personal invite to each of you to get involved! There is a role for anyone who cares about the military—from volunteering at an airport center to participating in welcome home ceremonies—we encourage you to support one of the finest institutions in our country, the U.S. Armed Forces.

There is much work to do. While conflict recedes from the national headlines, our troops continue to go into harm’s way. After a decade of conflict, our military, and their families, are rebuilding and resetting for future missions. Many service members have suffered wounds, visible and invisible, and families are reintegrating and rejoining their communities. They need our support.

As you read our annual report, you will learn our story and how, with every initiative, the USO of Illinois is “Always By Their Side.”

John FortsonChairman of the BoardUSO of Illinois


letter from the president&and Ceo

In May of 2013, I had the privilege of travelling to Germany with pro football players and visiting troops stationed on Wiesbaden Army Base and those recovering from combat injuries at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. I saw their spirits lift instantly when they met their football heroes. But they were the real heroes: warriors in the ICU at Landstuhl recovering with dignity and strength; troops and their families stationed far from home, balancing military duty with life overseas. They were grateful for a handshake, an autograph, the opportunity to relive a favorite touchdown and, if only for a moment, to feel closer to home. I met a soldier who cradled his infant son in one arm and an autographed football in the other. “Thank you for coming all the way over here to see us,” he beamed, “it means so much.” That was the instant I knew he felt connected to home.

Later in the year I embarked on a two-day trip aboard the U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhower, a.k.a. “IKE,” a U.S. Naval aircraft carrier. I met a crew of thousands from every state in our nation—small towns and big cities alike. Most had graduated from boot camp right here in Illinois. I remember the enthusiastic greeting I received from a young sailor our first day underway. She spotted the logo on my shirt and said, politely: “Excuse me, ma’am. I just want to say thanks. I spent a lot of time at USO Great Lakes after graduating from boot camp. Say ‘hi’ to everyone for me when you get back!” Even after crossing an ocean, she carried an indelible memory of her ‘Home Away From Home’ at the USO of Illinois.

We have the honor of touching the lives our military and their families with programs and services that truly make a difference. After all, they deserve our greatest appreciation and support. I hope you, like myself, find inspiration in these stories and in serving those who so bravely serve our nation.

Alison RublePresident & CEOUSO of Illinois


Say Hello...

Captain Dustin CammackCaptain Dustin Cammack, 37, is an 18-year veteran with the Illinois Army National Guard. When he en-listed into the field artillery in 1996, he never imagined where his career path in the military would eventually take him. “Honestly, I joined the National Guard for college. I had no intentions of making the military a career,” said Cammack, a native of Mt. Vernon, Illinois. “My plan was to do six years then move on to other things.” Those “other things” led him to Iraq in 2005 and Afghanistan in 2010. “I currently work full-time as the State Public Affairs Officer in Chicago, so I see all the great things the USO does for Illinois Army and Air National Guard service members and their families. I’m constantly amazed at the hard work, dedication and commitment USO volunteers display on a daily basis. We are truly blessed to have the support of a wonderful, caring organization like the USO of Illinois.”

Dorsey Family Sergeant Jennifer Dorsey joined the Illinois National Guard in 2002 and by 2012 she had left her husband and four small children at home to serve in Kuwait in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. She took a full-time job with the Guard as she felt drawn to the tragedy of 9/11 and had a strong desire to serve her country and to protect her family and their freedom. “The pos-sibility of being taken away from them for a long period of time was terrifying to me as I had only ever worked part-time while they were young so I could be with them as much as possible,” Jennifer remembers. “I was fully aware that answering the call would surely mean that day would come; but my family was so supportive of me. It was never easy. The whole family serves and makes sacrifices in their own ways, and I am so proud of them and proud to be a military family.”

Jennifer recalls her time in Kuwait as “the hardest time for me personally in my entire career. My only savior during that time was the USO tent that we had at our Camp. It was my new home for a year. They made us comfortable and, most of all, connected us with our loved ones back home. It became my sanctuary that made me feel like I wasn’t so far away from everything I loved. I don’t want to imagine what my deployment would have been like without the USO. They made everything bearable.”To learn more about the USO programs

BASIC TRAINING

Continuum of CareThe USO of Illinois is committed to serving those who serve.

We are with our troops every step of the way, present and

providing assistance from the day their service begins. From

boot camp to deployment, giving respite at hundreds of

airports worldwide, celebrating their homecoming and

easing their reintegration back into a civilian community,

the USO provides a continuous and comprehensive

spectrum of services at home and abroad.

“I had always known about the USO, but it wasn’t until I deployed when I saw the full force of the USO in action. They are everywhere – I have spent many hours in USO centers all across the globe.”

Beginning the transformation from civilian to soldier, marine, sailor, airmen or coastguardsmen, basic training readies every man and woman for service to our nation.

DEPLOYMENTThe men and women of our Armed Forces answer the call to serve around the globe. While deployed, the USO of Illinois not only supports them but also their families on the home front through a variety of programs.

HOMECOMING

Continuum of CareMoments of great joy and relief, homecomings are the hallmark of

a service member’s return home. The USO of Illinois joins with friends and families to welcome their

loved ones home and thank them for their service.

REINTEGRATION

After her deployment, the USO of Illinois sent Jennifer and her family to USO Camp R&R, one of the USO Military Family Programs that reconnects military family members and aids the reintegration of service members who have recently come home from deployment. “When I returned I couldn’t get enough family time to make up for what I had lost. I think that was hardest on the kids. I had to pick up my crazy routine right where I left it, and I really had no time just to relax with them.” Jennifer remembers her family’s enthusiasm when they learned they were going to Camp R&R. “They were all so excited because they knew that they would get my full attention without any distrac-tions from work or the household duties. Having that quality time with my family was so memorable and truly priceless; it allowed us to reconnect and refocus our lives on each other.”

Life in a combat zone is very different from life on the home front. The USO of Illinois recognizes the challenges our military face as they transition back into their civilian communities after multiple deployments, often carrying with them visible and invisible wounds of war. As they and their families adjust, the USO of Illinois is there, providing programs that directly address their needs and support paths to resiliency.

USO Support

for Families

of the FallenUSO O’Hare and USO Midway staff

and volunteers offer assistance and consolation to grieving families during

their travels to and from Dover Air Force Base to witness the dignified transfer

of their fallen heros. The USO of Illinois acts as the onsite liaison between

military branches and these families, providing comfort and travel assistance

during this difficult time.

FACILITIES

Each USO of Illinois Center offers active duty, guard and reserve military, military dependents and retired military members all the comforts of home in a friendly, welcoming environment. Our centers are a “Home Away From Home” where military find not only rest, relaxation and refreshment, but also a sense of community and support for their daily lives. Our troops and their families make sacrifices in service to our nation. They face challenges like frequent relocation, regular travel on military orders and additional stresses due to their separation from loved ones. Their sacrifices deserve our gratitude, and a full roster of free amenities offered at every USO of Illinois facility helps deliver our thanks, including: Wi-Fi access, lounge facilities, computers, telephones and video messaging, snacks, TV, DVD and video gaming systems, reading libraries, communication and travel assistance, maps and directions to area attractions, information on special military discounts and social service information resources.

USO O’Hare, Terminal 2 Located in Terminal 2 on the Mezzanine Level, the USO of Illinois O’Hare Center is the only Illinois Center open 24 hours a day, serving nearly 100,000 military members and their families a year.

USO O’Hare, Terminal 3Located at the Rotunda in Terminal 3, our second USO O’Hare Center welcomed its 100,000th visitor in March 2013 after being open for only two years.


USO

No-Dough

DinnersThis year-round program, offered at

USO Great Lakes, provides free meals

the evening before payday to military

personnel and their families. Thanks to

our community and corporate partners,

7,500 meals were served at the 21

No-Dough Dinners offered in 2013.

USO Midway Located in Concourse C, the USO of Illinois’ Center at Midway is compact in size, but big on service as thousands of military members and their families annually find respite in its comfortable surroundings.

USO Great Lakes Located on our nation’s only Naval Boot Camp, the USO Great Lakes is a “Home Away From Home” for service members temporarily living on and stationed around Naval Station Great Lakes. More than 60,000 visited USO Great Lakes in 2013.

USO Navy Pier Located in Chicago’s Historic Navy Pier, the USO of Illinois Navy Pier Center operated as the military’s concierge to the city. More than 10,000 visited USO Navy Pier in 2013. In 2014, USO Navy Pier will move to an information booth right inside the front entrance of the Pier.

USO Rock Island Located in Rock Island, Illinois, USO Rock Island opened on September 15, 2011. In January 2013, the Center unveiled a new space with nearly 2,000 square feet to better serve the 50,000 active duty military, military dependents, and wounded warriors in the Quad-Cities area.


MILITARY FAMILY PROGRAMSLike the Dorsey family and Captain Cammack, military personnel and their families face unique and tremendous challenges: frequent transfers, long deployments causing separation from friends and family, being a stranger in a new place, rigorous training, combat, as well as the visible and invisible wounds of serving are only some of these. USO Military Family Programs are designed to lift the spirits of military families and provide a sense of community support as they reconnect while enjoying recreational opportunities with their loved ones.

USO LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMS In its third year, USO Life Skills Programming supports service members with the information, training and resource support they need to successfully transition into the civilian sector.

USO EMPLOYMENT MENTORSHIP Now in its sophomore year, the USO Employment Mentoring Program offers curriculum that supplements the U.S. Army’s Community-Based Warrior Transition Unit (CBWTU) program and includes support defining career goals, strategies for resume writing and successful interviewing skills.

USO MONEY MATTERS The USO Money Matters program provides financial literacy skills, including training for and information about financial planning and aptitude, mortgages and credit scores, and strategies and support for deciphering GI Bill benefits.

USO DISCOVERY KIDS Military children learn to cope with very adult-level issues, including stresses of separation and anxiety over the potential loss of a deployed parent or caregiver, challenges of family reintegration with loved ones who’ve returned home from combat, record-high divorce rates and unemployment. USO Discovery Kids offers free, recreational and cultural programs and events that are fun, educational and designed to help alleviate stress, enhance exposure to learning and cultural activities and create bonds within military family communities.


USO TEEN/TWEEN PROGRAM Besides the normal challenges of adolescence that every American teen and tween navigates, military teens face the unique challenges of a military lifestyle, including frequent moves; reconnecting and making new friends in new places; and separation from parents, caregivers and family members who are training or deployed. A new extension of our USO Discovery Kids programming, USO of Illinois’ Teen/Tween Programs provide recreational and educational opportunities tailored to blossoming minds and imaginations, lifting the spirits of this vulnerable adolescent population.

USO TICKETS FOR TROOPS This seminal USO of Illinois program offers free tickets to cultural, theatrical and sports events for military personnel and their families, allowing them to reconnect after service members return home or to simply enjoy a night out with loved ones.

USO CAMP R&R Thanks to the generous support of a Board Member, the USO of Illinois offers military personnel recently returned from deployment, and their families, a weeklong stay at a special summer camp so they may rest, relax and reconnect. Now in its 8th season, USO Camp R&R has served more than 450 service members and their families.

UNITED THROUGH READING United Through Reading provides the children of deployed military the opportunity of quality time with their parents. USO provides cameras and DVDs to deployed military who are videotaped reading a children’s book aloud to their family back on the home front.

USO HOME FOR HOLIDAYS While the holidays are a time for families and fun, they are often ones of stress for everyone, particularly for those who serve. USO Thanksgiving Day and December holiday support includes meal and gift assistance for families in need as well as 24-hour USO Center support at USO Midway and USO O’Hare as military make their way home on holiday leave.

EMERGENCY RELIEF Military personnel and their families face unpredictable need. On a case-by-case basis, the USO Emergency Relief Fund provides year-round financial assistance in times of hardship to military and their families.

Awesome.

Just awesome.

Thank you USO and

Chicago Blackhawks

for a day my

family will

never forget.

PRE-DEPLOYMENT OPERATIONSAs military units gather in preparation for deploy-ment, USO of Illinois supports these operations by providing informative briefs on USO programs and services available to them and their families during their upcoming deployment.

YELLOW RIBBON BRIEFINGS Yellow Ribbon Briefings are scheduled military events assisting with reintegration for returning military personnel. USO Staff contribute to these events by informing military about USO of Illinois programs and resources available to them and their families.

USO U-505 NAVAL HISTORY PROGRAM In cooperation with the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI) and Pritzker Military Museum and Library, the USO U-505 Naval History Program places Navy Chief Petty Officer (CPO) selectees as volunteer museum docents at the museum’s famed U-505 Submarine exhibit as part of their CPO advancement training.

GOLD STAR FAMILY SUPPORTThe men and women who have served our nation and made the ultimate sacrifice deserve our eternal gratitude and highest honor. Their families, who served with them from the home front, and lost their loved ones in combat, are our Gold Star Families. The USO of Illinois sup-ports these families at several annual events throughout the year, including Mother’s Day and at the Chicago Memorial Day Parade.

FLOWERS FROM THE FRONTLINESThanks to the USO of Illinois and partners, Illinois service members stationed overseas are able to send flowers to their loved ones for Valentine’s Day free of charge. In 2013, 61 military couples received flowers.

DONOR HIGHLIGHTSChicago Blackhawks

With two staff members volunteering as Board

Members and a long history of supporting

our troops and their families, the Chicago

Blackhawks are a dedicated partner of the

USO of Illinois. While the Blackhawks may

be most known for partnering with the USO

and Boeing to honor active duty service

members and veterans on the ice before

each game, they do so much more behind

the scenes. In 2013 alone, the Blackhawks

sponsored the annual Heartland Classic

Golf Outing and the Star-Spangled Salute

Gala; they funded Youth Programming for

military kids, teens and tweens; and they

donated hundreds of preseason and regular

season tickets for service members and

their families. Coasting off of their 2013

Stanley Cup victory, the Blackhawks in

partnership with Boeing auctioned off jerseys

with proceeds benefitting the USO; held

several Stanley Cup Events, inviting service

members to participate; and even incorpo-

rated USO volunteers and staff into their

Victory Parade. The Blackhawks always find

innovative ways to help the USO of Illinois

meet the needs of local military and military

families, proving time and again that winning

the Stanley Cup isn’t their only priority.

Joe Moreno

In 2013, the USO of Illinois was fortunate to

meet Joe Moreno. While producing the new

Freedom Run 5K in East Moline, Joe chose the

USO of Illinois as the charity for the race.

Proceeds from the race were donated to the

USO of Illinois in support of the Emergency

Relief Program, providing financial assistance

to military families in need who live in both

the Illinois and Iowa side of the Quad Cities

community. Joe is a strong supporter of the

military and an active member of the Quad

Cities community, having served as Mayor

of East Moline for 4 years and 12 years as

Alderman. With several children and family

members who are active duty military, Joe

was inspired to start the Freedom Run 5K

after hearing a story about a military family

from one of his kids. He recounted the story

of a military wife whose water heater broke

while her husband was deployed. Unable to

pay for the new heater, local service members

pooled their resources to fund a new heater.

Motivated by this story, Joe began working

to prevent similar obstacles for military families

by partnering with the USO. When asked what

makes the Quad Cities a special place, Joe says

proudly, “We’re divided by a river, but we’re

united in support for the Rock Island Arsenal

and our military community.”

The Boeing Company

For more than a decade, Boeing has supported

the USO of Illinois by donating not just

needed financial support but also the time

and creative energy of their staff. From

Gala sponsorships to care package drives,

Boeing and its employees are dedicated to

the mission of the USO and supporting the

military. In particular, Boeing developed

the “Home and Away” program in partner-

ship with DFCBX, the Chicago Bears, the

Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Jazz

Philharmonic, providing the USO of Illinois

a moving auditory and aesthetic platform to

engage and inform the community about its

mission. A truly unique campaign, “Home

and Away” allows ordinary citizens along

with active and retired military and their

families to thank our troops for their service

and sacrifice. Photos of people saluting our

troops can be viewed and uploaded on

the USO of Illinois Facebook page at

www.facebook.com/usoofillinois. All official

“Home and Away” videos can be viewed

on the USO of Illinois website and at

Become an Everyday HeroSince 1941, USO of Illinois’ volunteers have been the heart and soul of lifting the spirits of America’s troops and their families throughout the state of Illinois. Volunteers serve in multiple capacities and are an essential part of keeping all six USO of Illinois Centers open for business. The USO of Illinois relies on more than 650 active volunteers who annually donate enough hours to equal more than $1,000,000 of service. Our volunteers are trained thoroughly, and work closely with staff to ensure high standards of service provision. The USO of Illinois is proud to be this link that brings together military and civilian communities.
