Contents BOARD PRESIDENT

3 The Howard’s Family Story It has been my privilege to serve as the board president for Wonders & Worries for the
5 2015 Financials past two years. I am full of gratitude for all of you who make the work we do possible, and
6 Wonders & Worries by the Numbers as my term draws to a close, I am also full of memories of this wonderful organization,
7-16 Donors and how much it has changed over the years – and how much it has changed me.

14 2001 Society & Millennium Society I remember the first time I helped a friend chair a Wonders & Worries fundraising event,
14 Tribute Gifts and learned what this organization is about, and how much of a difference it makes in
16 In Kind Gifts the lives of children. I remember my first family fun event, where I met some of those
17 How Do Your Gifts Impact Our Mission? children and their parents firsthand. As my understanding and appreciation for the
organization grew, my level of involvement grew with it.

Wonders & Worries has grown, too. This year, the organization provided support for
more children than in any year prior. Once again, we are turning our attention to national
expansion, with exciting plans already being put into motion. As Wonders & Worries
moves towards new opportunities both in and beyond Central Texas, I know there will
be some changes and additions in the way we provide support. But you and I can count
on one thing remaining the same from our past and in to our future. In fourteen years,
for over six thousand children and their parents, we have one mission – to provide
professional support for children through a parent’s illness.

I want to know that if the time comes for my children to need that professional
support, Wonders & Worries is around to provide it. That’s why, even as I step down
from my position as board president, I know I’ll continue to give back to this wonderful
organization. I hope you will join me in doing the same.

Sincerely,

Brandy Agnew
Wonders & Worries Board of Directors, President
