Ginny and Tom Neuckranz '70, John Fish '55 Distinguished Service to the Community Award
Tom Neuckranz ’70 studied aeronautical engineering at Princeton and later went on to law school at Northwestern. Ginny majored in management at Simmons College in Boston. Ginny and Tom married in 1982 and raised three beautiful daughters, Kristin, Laura and Erika, in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka.
In 2004, after their daughter, Erika, lost her life to depression, Ginny and Tom founded Erika's Lighthouse with the passionate and dedicated help of many friends, families, and the local community who came together to turn loss into action. Today, Erika’s Lighthouse: A Beacon of Hope for Adolescent Depression (www.erikaslighthouse.org) is a non-profit organization committed to educating teens about depression through curricula programs in middle school and high school communities at no cost to the schools. Using positive, helpful, hopeful messaging the mission of Erika’s Lighthouse is to eliminate the stigma surrounding depression, empowering young people to take ownership of their mental health so they can obtain the medical help they need in order to live as happy a life as possible. ELH curricula programs are currently being used in over 425 schools in 39 states. In 2020 Erika's Lighthouse became one of the founding members of "Shine Light on Depression," a unique nationwide collaboration of organizations, including American School Health Association, Anthem, Inc., JetBlue Airways Corporation, and the National PTA.
