Community Services


Community Service 2009

For 2009 the IFMANI is happy to announce our adopted charties for 2009.   All proceeds from events will be split between the two worthy charities through out the year.  IFMANI will match all donations raised by the committee.


Aspire is a leader in services for children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families. Whether we help a child take her first steps, assist an adult to find his first job or care for a senior adult with dementia, our goal is always the same – helping people with developmental disabilities achieve their highest potential where they live, learn, work or play. Aspire is committed to assisting any person in need of our services, regardless of the severity of their disability or their ability to pay. Aspire is there for a lifetime, building futures together.

MOOSEHEART cares for youth whose families are unable, for a wide variety of reasons, to care for them. Some have lost one or both parents; others are living in environments that are simply not conducive to healthy growth and development. Whatever the reason, the men and women of the Moose, through unparalleled generosity and volunteerism, furnish the resources necessary to care for children in need. The Moose fraternity provides children with a wholesome home-like environment and the best possible training and education.

Hope to see you at the event and thank you in advance for supporting these two charities.

The College of Business Administration at the University of Illinois at Chicago prepares students for careers that embrace innovation and entrepreneurship. To that end, we have created an Innovation Center here on campus to meet these goals. This new center aims to foster innovative product development through the integration of creative new approaches to design, customer research, marketing and business development.
