Sandstorm Design Wins First Place in the Illinois Press Woman’s Association Annual Report Awards for the Second Year in a Row

Sandstorm Design wins first place in the Illinois Woman's Press Association Annual Report Awards for their work on the 2004 Annual Report for Cathedral Shelter of Chicago, "Celebrating 90 Years" for the second year in a row, and is now entered into the National contest.

The 2004 annual report theme visually demonstrated how Cathedral Shelter of Chicago evolved over the past 90 years. This 28-page annual report consisted of a vintage cover photo of the founder, vintage photography from volunteer events, financial statements, and lists of donors. Illustrating how, when and where donations were being used integrated with past memories played a major role in the success of the annual report. 

“We want to thank you again for lending your considerable talent and passion to this project,” said Marcy Darin from the Cathedral Shelter of Chicago.

Restoring hope and dignity has been at the heart of Cathedral Shelter's mission since the agency was founded in 1915. The Cathedral Shelter of Chicago offers counseling, education, job preparation, emergency services and provides the emotional and spiritual support to help individuals and families in recovery.
