This year’s Community Celebration was a HUGE hit! With Laura Schwartz emceeing, dozens of awards and even a special guest appearance from Harris Bank’s Hubert the Lion, we had a great time honoring all of our most generous community leaders at the event.
Throughout the event, we took pictures, made videos and posted blogs and social media messages to commemorate the many people and organizations that make this kind of event possible. We hope you’ll take the time to click the links below and check them out!

During the past year, we were able to raise more than $50 million for area non-profits, spend nearly 25,000 hours volunteering and advocate for a responsible budget. Our agencies were able to save more lives, teach more children and find jobs for more Chicagoans – and it was all possible because of YOU. Together, we are making a huge difference in our community and in the lives of others.
Thanks to everyone who could attend. We can’t wait for next year!!
