Description

On April 26, 2024, the Chicago Engineers' Foundation presents Sock Hop Chicago, a fundraising event benefiting STEM programming for Chicago students.  The mission of the Chicago Engineers' Foundation is to encourage and empower young people to become the next generation of engineers through scholarships, outreach, and promoting interest in engineering careers.  Last year, CEF awarded $100,000 in scholarhsips to Chicago students, and impacted more than 1,500 K-12 students through volunteer outreach and career development activities.  

Sock Hop Chicago brings together more than 150 community members and young professionals for a fun and engaging eveining at the Union League Club of Chicago.  This year's event brings the Fabulous 1950's back...for one night only featuring live music and dancing, speciality food and drinks, entertainment, and a premium auction.  

Your support is vital to the success of this event.  Please consider donating an item, gift certificate, or unique experience to ensure an array of auction offerings.  The auction is hosted online and will open to the public one week before the event, closing the night of Sock Hop Chicago.  All auction donors will be featured on the auction website, and on the CEF website and social media pages.  

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,
