Happy Fourth of July from all of us at the Steans Family Foundation! 🎆🇺🇸 Wishing you all a safe and healthy holiday.

Heather, Robin and Jennifer Steans are incredibly humbled and honored to receive the Civic Federation's Gage Msall Award for Outstanding Civic Contributions. It is an honor shared proudly with the entire team at the Steans Family Foundation and each of their partners, colleagues and friends who they are so fortunate to work with in North Lawndale and across the city and state. It was a memorable moment because their father, Harrison Steans, received the same award in 2013. As Harrison often said, “We should always aspire to more than we can accomplish,” and that is what keeps the Steans sisters motivated each and every day. #CommunityService #CivicFederation #NorthChicago #Teamwork #MakingADifference
