Hadley Wins Golden Trumpet Award

Winnetka, IL? The Hadley School for the Blind accepted a Golden Trumpet Award for its 2005 
Annual Report in the category of excellence in non-profit annual reports from the Publicity Club 
of Chicago.

“We are thrilled to have been acknowledged for the creativity that went into Hadley’s 85th 
commemorative annual report,” said Susan Dennison, Director of Development and 
Communications. The 2005 Annual Report illustrated the history of Hadley with a timeline and 
acknowledged the many famous people who have visited Hadley and the school’s supporters.

More than 500 public relations and communication professionals attended the award ceremony on 
Friday, May 5, at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago hosted by ABC 7’s Janet Davies and CBS 
2/Chicago Sun-Times.

The awards are given to those who exemplified special creativity, address an issue to improve the 
quality of life or exhibit the best overall public relations. The entries for the awards were evaluated 
by a select group of public relations executives. A total of 100 Silver Trumpets were awarded and 
58 Golden Trumpet. The Hadley School received gold, the highest honor.
