Please join us for the 2022 Youth Services Spring Gala on Saturday, May 14th at Chevy Chase Country Club in Wheeling. We are thrilled to be back in person for the first time since 2019 to mark a very special milestone as we celebrate Youth Services' 50th Anniversary serving the community!  

The funds raised through our Spring Gala event are invested in important Youth Services programming. Some of these needs include social and emotional learning in a safe environment for children in lower-income neighborhoods, crisis response and student safety assessments, group and individual therapy sponsorships, and education programs for families who are most at-risk for social and emotional disorders, in addition to other life-changing services. Each year the demand for our programs grows and we have seen that need increase dramatically during the pandemic. So far, our 2022 service hours continue to climb higher than ever as Youth Services evolves to do the best work with children and families thanks to you.

We look forward to seeing you in-person on May 14th as we celebrate the work of Youth Services and our wonderful donors and continue our mission to ensure that all children have the opportunity to grow up happy, healthy and hopeful and that no one is ever turned away for services based upon ability to pay.

For In-Kind Auction Item Donors:

Youth Services relies on the generosity of local businesses and individuals to help build an amazing auction to raise critical funds. 

An important source of funding continues to be our silent and live auctions. We hope that you will contribute to Youth Services’ continued success by donating an item or certificate to our auction.

Your donation will directly further the work of Youth Services as the place to turn to for mental health services and support for children and adolescents in Chicago’s northern suburbs and where no one is turned away based upon ability to pay. 

Because of these important goals, it is important that we continue to build an annual auction full of unique and quality items, which means your contribution is important to our success – now more than ever.  Please help us make this the best auction yet!
