Daily Herald | DuPage County-School recognized nationally for AIDS ministry in Africa

Daily Herald | DuPage County: "Recognition was never the goal. But this year the school beat out dozens of contenders nationwide to be named winner of the national Association For Fundraising Professionals’ William R. Simms Award for Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy in the age 5-to-17 category.

The Academy students were nominated for the prestigious award by the Chicago AFP chapter and will pick up their prize Tuesday at the national association’s convention in Dallas.

The gathering will feature noted speakers including actress Brooke Shields and seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong."
