Miracles for Mya, a beacon of hope for families grappling with pediatric cancer, is proud to announce that it is capping off its milestone 2023 holiday season – providing over $32,000 in gifts to children battling cancer – with an inaugural Miracles for Mya Gala on March 9th, 2024. All gala proceeds will support the charity's ongoing mission to deliver joy and support to children with cancer and their families. "We launched Miracles for Mya after our daughter, Mya Tinajero, was diagnosed with stage IV Neuroblastoma, and lost her battle in 2017," said Misti Alberico Tinajero, President of Miracles for Mya. "Mya was always very generous, kind, and brave and after she gained her angelic wings, we felt compelled to honor her memory by carrying out ‘miracles’ for other families on her behalf. Mya fought long and hard for 6 years, never once believing that she couldn’t conquer cancer. We want to share that hope with kids fighting the same battle.” Since its founding in 2018, Miracles for Mya has donated over 6,500 toys to children at local area hospitals throughout Northeastern Illinois. Over $100,000 in toys and aid has been distributed by the charity in the last six years, including the 2023 holiday season, with $32,000 in gifts donated to children battling cancer. “The Miracles for Mya Gala is not just a fundraiser; it's a powerful opportunity to raise awareness about pediatric cancer and highlight the profound impact kindness and compassion can have on families in their most challenging moments,” said Antonio Tinajero, Vice President of Miracles for Mya. “Mya left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. And we, unfortunately, deeply understand how difficult this journey can be, which is why we want to help other families, it’s what Mya would want and expect us to do.” The gala, priced at $85 per person, offers guests not only a night of dinner, dancing, and an open bar but also entertainment by renowned Chicago DJ Eddie V. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in raffles for prizes that include a $500 Gift Card and a PlayStation 5.

Mya was a typical 4-year-old who loved pink, princesses, and all things Disney. Mya’s (and her family’s) life changed on January 11, 2011, when they heard the words “Mya has cancer.” Mya was diagnosed with stage IV Neuroblastoma and was high-risk from the beginning. As scary as cancer was, nothing was going to change who this kid was. She was always known for her smile, kindness, generosity, and bravery. Mya fought long and hard over the next 6 years, never once believing that she couldn’t conquer cancer. Throughout her years, Mya left a lasting impression on all whom she encountered.

Callan Family Office Expands Financial Administration Division to Support Ultra-High-Net-Worth Families and Other Single Family Offices

Callan Family Office

Callan Family Office, a registered investment advisor serving ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices, foundations and endowments across the United States, today announced it has broadened its capabilities with the expansion of its financial administration division. Financial administration services include bill pay, cash management, reconciliation, and customized reporting. Callan Family Office, which manages nearly $5 billion in assets, is making these and other services available to both its ultra-high-net-worth clients and to other single-family offices. “Ultra-high-net-worth clients have complex finances that can make it difficult for them to get a clear picture of what they have, how their assets have performed, and how money was spent,” said Jack Ginter, Chief Executive Officer of Callan Family Office. “We created the financial administration division to bring all the puzzle pieces together, so clients can understand inflows and outflows and how best to manage all the moving parts to allow them to reach both their immediate and long-term goals.” The handling of day-to-day administrative tasks such as bill pay can take significant time. Commonly, the process is manual, and clients have information spread across different systems, accounts, and providers. Using the firm’s custom technology and processes, Callan Family Office directly handles these daily activities, allowing clients to get a more holistic financial view, improve operational efficiency and mitigate risk. Through these expanded services, Callan Family Office also focuses on helping clients achieve their specific financial goals, adjusting asset allocations to help them meet sizable ongoing expenses, such as the purchase and maintenance of a private aircraft, charitable initiatives, and other personal goals. The team also serves as liaison to the client’s accountant to provide reports and any tax items tracked throughout the year to aid in tax reporting. “Many of our clients run multiple real estate projects, for example, using different LLC business structures to manage each property,” said Amy Jucoski, head of family office services. “Imagine the work that goes into paying bills, categorizing expenses, reconciling bank accounts, as well as recording assets and liabilities for each LLC business. Now layer in the client’s personal assets and day-to-day activities – it’s a lot for them to manage. That’s what we do for our clients and now, in support of other single-family offices.” Cindy Chase, who over a 13-year period built and led the financial administration practice at Abbot Downing, Wells Fargo’s ultra-high-net-worth business, has joined Callan Family Office as director of financial administration. The growth of Callan Family Office’s financial administration division mirrors the rapid expansion of the larger firm. Launched in 2022, Callan Family Office has 23 partners. As a partner-owned, fully independent firm, Callan Family Office—a fiduciary that is 100% aligned with clients—has built its practice around solving the complex needs of families of considerable wealth. About Callan Family Office Independently owned and operated, Callan Family Office was founded by experienced wealth professionals to provide investment management, thoughtful personalized advice, and holistic financial planning to ultra-high-net-worth families, foundations, and endowments. The firm's principals have spent their careers serving ultra-high-net-worth clients and institutions. Callan Family Office has agreements with Callan LLC to use the Callan ® tradename in providing investment advisory services to the ultra-high-net-worth market segment and to access Callan's institutional quality research, education, and investment guidance experience. Callan Family Office and Callan LLC are independent, unaffiliated investment advisory firms separately registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Callan Family Office (CFO) is the exclusive trademark licensee of Callan LLC. Callan LLC provides products and services to CFO.

College Sports to Be One of the Best Media Investments in 2024, per Big Chalk

Big Chalk

Many industry watchers believe issues like conference realignment, the Transfer Portal, and NIL will damage the long-term value of college sports as a media asset. New consumer research from Big Chalk, a marketing analytics company, shows these fears to be unfounded. On the contrary, growth in consumer engagement with college sports may never be higher than in 2024. “College sports are undergoing drastic and rapid changes,” said Rick Miller, Big Chalk’s Marketing Effectiveness Practice Lead. “We wondered if consumers would react poorly to these changes and begin to tune college sports out. Nothing could be further from the truth.” Big Chalk surveyed nearly 2,000 U.S. consumers regarding their viewership levels across college sports in general, with specific questions about college football. The data indicate fans will increase viewership from an average of about 11 games per viewer in 2023 to 13 games in 2024 – an uptick of almost 17%. To see if storm clouds are gathering on the horizon, Big Chalk also gathered net sentiment scores for NIL, the Transfer Portal, and conference realignment – but despite rumblings from some pundits, these issues are not driving fans away from the product. Perhaps one of the more eye-opening findings from the research is the level of influence college sports provides its sponsor brands. “More than 13% of respondents say they prioritize college sports sponsor brands during their purchase process,” said Miller, “and another 30% say brand sponsorship positively influences their purchase decision, even if it doesn’t automatically make the brand a shopper’s number-one priority.” Some college football sponsors continued to see double-digit unaided brand awareness weeks after the football season ended. “Perceptions of College Sports 2024: What CMOs and Media Strategists Need to Know” is the first of a two-part release of Big Chalk’s research. It is available for free download at: https://dust.bigchalk.co/perceptionsofcollegesports About Big Chalk Big Chalk is a marketing analytics and outsourcing company that specializes in CPG companies and similar consumer-facing brands. Big Chalk’s blend of consumer marketing experts and data scientists provide the tools and consulting services that brands of all sizes need to grow sales and build connections with their customers.
