“The Philanthropy Club of Illinois’ mission is to build a bridge between society’s haves and have-nots. Philanthropy is compassionate kindness with a sense of justice—love with a must. Its moral obligation is to sustain high quality education, art, medical assistance, social services, and so much more for all in society, especially for the truly helpless and the needy.” – Gus Wilhelmy (Philanthropy Club founder and Safer Foundation co-founder).
