    wondersandworries.org 2013 Annual Report July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 A Letter From Our Board President A Year In Review Wonders & Worries has had a great year, and I’ve never been more proud to be a part of it. Campaigns like Go Big Blue and events like No Worries Classic and What a Wonder - ¡Que Maravilla! were overwhelmingly successful. We have made great strides in infrastructure growth, hiring new staff to expand our outreach and increase our client count in the greater Austin area. But we believe our services should be available to more than just those families lucky enough to live in Austin. With this in mind, we continue to explore possibilities for greater expansion into other metropolitan areas. Only through your kindness and compassion can our organization perform such rewarding work and experience such exciting growth. Steadfast support from donors like you allows our services to remain free to families in desperate situations, including families who are underserved and impoverished. Parents constantly express what a difference Wonders & Worries has made in their lives and the lives of their children, easing a burden that sometimes feels too heavy to bear. The pages of this annual report are intended to provide you with a snapshot of the 2013 fiscal year of Wonders & Worries. We ask that you continue to support our organization with your generous gifts and enthusiastic participation. There are children out there who need help from Wonders & Worries, and we need help from you. Thank you for being a part of our mission! Sincerely, Trek Doyle Wonders & Worries Board of Directors, President 2013 Annual Report Contents 3 The Pickard Family Story 14 Tribute Gifts 5 2013 Financials 16 In Kind Gifts 6 Wonders & Worries by the Numbers 17 How Do Your Gifts Impact Our Mission? 7 Donors 18 Support Wonders & Worries A Letter From Our Executive Director A Story of Hope There is a book we use often at Wonders & Worries called “The Hope Tree,” by Dr.

New additions include Minnesotan Sam Spiczka, a sculptor inspired by natural bone forms, rural technology and geometric structure, globetrotters and multifaceted artist couple Julie Dwyre and Kevin Zuckerman with mediums from oil painting to sculpture in bronze, pastel and watercolor and fellow newcomer, born in Bulguria Tanya Doskova is known for her magical surrealism, sociopolitical satire and modern folk tales.
