IGNITE is a festive, mid-winter party bringing together Chicago area VIPs and young professionals for an evening of live music, dancing , hors d’oeuvres and cocktails—all to raise funds to support United Way's workforce development efforts to provide our neighbors with critical access to job training and placement. Ignite is hosted by the Young Leaders United board (YLU) of Metro Chicago.

YLU is an enthusiastic group of young professionals who are igniting change in their communities. By engaging with their peers through year-round events, YLU members grow their professional networks, give of their time and their talents, and raise funds to support the work of United Way to build stronger neighborhoods for a stronger Chicago region.
