<div dir="ltr">Marge's 85th birthday party was held today at 4750 with many people in attendance. A donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, sent a
contribution to ICA-USA for $8,500 (eight thousand five hundred dollars) with some specific instructions. To celebrate her eighty-fifth year, Marge is to designate
portions of this $8,500 contribution, in amounts as she sees fit, to the seven
major current program areas at ICA-USA. These are:<div><br /></div><div>- GreenRise Uptown for creating a green culture within the largest nonprofit service center in the Midwest;</div><div><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span><span style="font:normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'">- </span></span></span>Resilient Communities via the “Accelerate 77” program in Chicago neighborhoods;</div>
