Our 2024 Faces of Hope Gala will bring together 250 of our supporters, corporate and civic partners, and board leaders to celebrate our 125th anniversary and to look ahead to the future.  Faces of Hope raises critical funds to advance our mission – to advance health and create pathways for educational and economic opportunity for individuals in despair. The event features a rooftop cocktail reception, silent auction, fun & games, and a program to honor Spirit of Hope awardees. All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. The hundreds of thousands of dollars in proceeds - much of it due to generosity from business supporters like you - go toward the health, education and workforce initiatives we offer over 3,000 people across Chicago as life-changing opportunity.
