Special Leisure Services Foundation (SLSF) was formed in 1981 as the nonprofit fundraising arm of Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA).

NWSRA was formed in 1973 as a community-based agency that is an extension of 17 park districts with a mission to provide outstanding opportunities through recreation for children and adults with disabilities. A variety of recreation and leisure programs are offered throughout the year including bowling, swimming lessons, crafts, cooking, team sports, piano lessons, athletic team training, cultural arts, horseback riding, social clubs, trips and special events. NWSRA celebrates the abilities of people with disabilities and believes that all people should be given the opportunity to recreate at their highest level.

Anne began working with Special Leisure Services Foundation (SLSF) in 2021 as the Superintendent of Development. She is a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Chicago Chapter and sits on the events committee for the Illinois Park and Recreation Foundation.
