Thank you so much for visiting our web site for the Anne Hopkins Foundation. With the loss of our dear Annie, this year has been very difficult for her friends and family. Your support and love during the past 7 months has not been unnoticed, and your donations to the scholarship fund are so appreciated. With your funds we were able to set up a legal non-profit organization, apply for a 501(c)3, develop this web site, and plan our first fundraising event for October. Not only are we set up to now operate legitimately, but we still have enough money to give many scholarships to students who can help us carry on Annie's unfinished work. In fact, we plan on making our very first scholarship grant a reality this fall by selecting a student at the University of Illinois at Chicago with the help of a selection committee made up of department members there. With your continued support, we hope to establish the foundation as a permanent scholarship source for many many years. On October 3rd, you can help us raise money by attending our first annual fundraiser, "Annie's Wedding", which promises to be a fun,
memory-filled evening in honor of Annie. For more information visit our Events Page. Please have a look
around the site, and all feedback is appreciated. Thank you so much again for all of your support so far.
It means the world to our family.
