About Us
Founded in 2007, the Big Shoulders Fund Auxiliary Board is a group of active and altruistic young professionals dedicated to advancing the causes championed by the Big Shoulders Fund. Auxiliary Board members raise money to provide scholarships to deserving inner-city children attending Big Shoulders schools.  However, Auxiliary Board members do more than simply fundraise.  They also donate their time and energy by volunteering with Big Shoulders schools and children. Three committees (Fundraising, Schools, Outreach) are hard at work in the schools and on behalf of the more than 25,000 inner-city children Big Shoulders serves. To find out more about how to get involved, contact Amelia Drozda (312-751-3850 / adrozda@bigshouldersfund.org)  or one of the Executive Committee members listed to the right.
