Description

The St. Mary’s Foundation for Children annual report is used to recognize and thank the people who, through their support of the foundation, helped better the lives of children with special needs. The report seeks to establish an intimate link between the supporters (4,500 of whom must be listed individually) and the children, who despite their common endeavors, rarely interact. The design uses sparse yet poignant language to provide this link and build a sense of community among the supporters and children.
