HONORING THE AIDS FOUNDATION OF CHICAGO FOR 25 YEARS OF SERVICE
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Quigley) for 5 minutes.
Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the AIDS Foundation
of Chicago for 25 years of service to the people of Chicago, Cook
County, and the State of Illinois.
The foundation has served as the center of AIDS and HIV services in
the Chicago metropolitan area and has been a leading advocate of sound
policies and legislation in Illinois and Washington. The foundation has
raised and disseminated millions of dollars in grants for prevention,
care, and advocacy in underserved communities.
Praised as a national model of coordinated case management and
supportive housing services, many look to the foundation as a way to do
business. The AIDS Foundation is the kind of community-based, people-
oriented organization that makes America great. Thanks to CEO Mark
Ishaug and to all the staff, volunteers, and board for being a beacon
of hope in the fight against AIDS and HIV.
