Every year the NSBA honors Past President Gary Wild by partnering with an organization that exemplifies Gary’s character and interests.Honoring Gary Wild – 2026 This year the NSBA invited members and guests to honor Gary Wild by serving others at the Misericordia Home for the developmentally/physically disabled. Misericordia offers a community of care that maximizes potential for persons with mild to profound developmental disabilities, many of whom are also physically challenged. By serving society’s most vulnerable citizens, Misericordia also serves the families who want the best for them, yet cannot provide it at home. Through a spectrum of residential options on its 37 acre Chicago campus in the community, and with a wide variety of programs, Misericordia currently serves more than 600 children and adults residentially, from diverse racial, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. Twenty percent of our residents either come from poverty families or have no families and are wards of the State. |
