2024 Spark Gala!
Gala/Party for Center for Independent FuturesSep 27, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM
Center for Independent Futures (CIF) supports individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD) in pursuing dreams for the future, building life skills and fostering support for increased independence, social connection, employment, community engagement and community living. CIF's person-centered programs have an educational framework promoting lifelong learning and self-advocacy. CIF also provides training and consultation to schools, human service agencies and families across Illinois and nationally.
CIF serves hundreds of individuals with varied disabilities (autism, Down syndrome, cerebral
palsy, fragile X, learning disability, etc.), youth to adult and of varied ethnicities, as well as families. Many served are at poverty level (on public assistance and unemployed) and forty-percent have a mental health dual diagnosis.
We are excited to announce our largest annual fundraiser gala, SPARK, which will take place on September 27th, 2024. This event is crucial for us, as it helps fund the essential programs that make a profound difference in the lives of the individuals we serve. One of the highlights of SPARK is our silent auction and a donation from you would not only enhance our auction but also support our programs demonstrate your commitment to making a tangible impact on the lives of people with disabilities.
We would be incredibly grateful for your support. Together, we can make a lasting impact for the community we serve. Thank you for your consideration!
