Anyone who has traveled with Spark Ventures to Zambia knows Teacher Judy well. She is often in the center of welcome songs and student performances and she speaks eloquently about her 10+ years of experience serving the students in Twapia.

Our co-founders first met Marvis at Hope House Orphanage when she was just seven. Now she is an impressive young woman, and serves as “head girl” at Hope House – mentoring other students. She will complete high school this year and hopes to become a nurse.

It will be a powerful experience for Teacher Judy and Marvis to travel to the U.S. and meet so many Spark supporters who have helped to change their lives.

We know you will be inspired by their personal stories.

Tickets are no longer being sold online. We will have a limited number of tickets available at the door tonight. We hope to see you there.

Spark Ventures Ignite 2015 was a great success and we look forward to hosting our event in this beautiful space for the second year in a row.

Originally built in 1926, The Murphy is truly one of Chicago’s finest architectural jewels. The architectural design of the auditorium is by Marshall and Fox, and is in the French Renaissance style, reminiscent of the Chapelle de-Notre-Dame de Consolation in Paris.
