Hinsdale South Young Life
A rainy evening did not dampen Hinsdale South Young Life’s Annual Fundraiser on April 18th in Burr Ridge. The evening celebrated the past year with a focus on the future for “Every Kid, Everywhere, For Eternity.”
The impact this organization has been making on the community was evident through the heartfelt words shared by the leaders and students at the event.
Student after student expressed how they had grown in confidence and faith. Over $30,000 was raised by the end of the evening.
However, the effort is not over yet, as Hinsdale South Young Life continues to seek help in reaching its goal of $50,000 before the start of school in the fall.

![Aili Flannery’s award-winning sculpture, “Process,” was made of copper, string, copper wire, glass beads, glass, rust-stained fabric, lace, turmeric sun-printed paper, and thread. It represents “the timeline of having depression to the process of healing,” Flannery explained, and the theme is rooted in her own experiences. “‘Start’ shows up again at the end [of the piece], because I was ready to start healing and to continue living.”](https://dupagemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/26-1-DG-Scholastic-Art-Writing-Awards.jpg "26-1 DG Scholastic Art & Writing Awards")
