Gary Wild Memorial Day of Service
Every year the NSBA honors Past President Gary Wild by partnering with organizations that exemplify Gary's character and interests.
Gary was one of our most active members. He particularly was kind and supportive to all new members. Additionally Gary, as a lawyer, was zealous in protecting the rights of the less fortunate. He was a social security disability lawyer, represented parents and children in the juvenile court, and was an active member of the ACLU.
In the past we have held memorial dinners at which the NSBA presented donations to worthy organizations. This year we are inviting everyone to honor Gary by serving others at the Misericordia Home for the developmentally/physically disabled.
On March 2, 2026 we will spend the day at Misericordia.
Misericordia offers a community of care that maximizes potential for persons with mild to profound developmental disabilities, many of whom are also physically challenged. By serving society’s most vulnerable citizens, Misericordia also serves the families who want the best for them, yet cannot provide it at home. Through a spectrum of residential options on its 37 acre Chicago campus in the community, and with a wide variety of programs, Misericordia currently serves more than 600 children and adults residentially, from diverse racial, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. Twenty percent of our residents either come from poverty families or have no families and are wards of the State.

SCHEDULE
Our day will start at 10am and go until approximately 2:30pm and will include a guided tour of the campus, lunch and volunteer opportunities with the residents.
This promises to be an experience where we will receive far more than we give through our interactions with the residents and staff at Misericordia.
