Community Partner of the Year
Barrington Rotary

With a passionate mission of “Service Beyond Self,” Barrington Rotary is a vibrant group of nearly 60 volunteers who make an immeasurable impact in the Barrington area.

Known as the “go-to” resource for volunteer assistance when any local nonprofit requires more manpower, Barrington Rotarians dive into service locally and internationally, always judging their efforts by the Rotary International Four-Way Test: "Is it the truth? Is it fair to all? Does it build goodwill and better friendships? Is it beneficial to all?"

In a six-month time span, during 2024, the Rotary clocked in over 500 hours of volunteer service on 23 projects and gave over $11,000 in donations. Projects included everything from managing parking for Art in the Barn, delivering Meals on Wheels, and cleanup along Rt. 14, to working Barrington Giving Day, collecting books and pajamas for local families in need, funding international projects, and fighting polio.

Business Excellence Award
Patrick A. Finn Custom Homes & Remodeling

Patrick Finn was born in England and raised in Ireland, growing up on a farm riding horses. He began working as a carpenter in England at the age of 18 and soon achieved Master Craftsman status. He is recognized for his integrity, attention to detail, devotion to old-world craftsmanship, and his genuine personality.

He came to the United States in 1987 and began his business in 1991, growing from a few remodeling projects to an impressive list of hundreds of award-winning remodeled and custom homes.

Patrick is a multiple-time recipient of the Gold and Platinum Key Awards, which are among the premier recognitions in the housing industry.

In addition to a vigorous schedule of upcoming productions, Parker Players is in the midst of a fundraising campaign to create a dynamic black box theater-in-the-round in the heart of Barrington. The quality of their productions is not only attracting top-notch talent from all over the Chicagoland area, but Parker Players has also enriched the Barrington area's arts scene, attracting local residents and visitors from across the region.

2025 Young Entrepreneurs Award Recipients
Fresh Cornucopia: Julie Gonzalez, Sree Nara,
Rishi Patari, and Dylan DeLeon

Each year BACC celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit of the next generation of business leaders by awarding the Young Entrepreneurs Award at the BACC Annual Dinner in January. This year’s honorees were Julie Gonzalez, Sree Nara, Rishi Patari, and Dylan DeLeon for their development of Fresh Cornucopia, an online marketplace created through Barrington High School’s Incubator Program.

This dynamic team of BHS students designed Fresh Cornucopia to raise awareness of sustainable food sources and connect consumers with small, local food businesses. To bring their vision to life, they visited farmers’ markets and engaged with over 90 small business owners to understand their challenges. These conversations motivated them to create an online platform featuring more than 25 vendors, providing an accessible way for shoppers to discover and order local, quality foods.
