We Grow Chicago
Chicago, IL
Since 2007, Spark has partnered with grassroots organizations around the world – and it has been a privilege to join them on their journey to uplift and empower their communities.
You’re invited to our 2024 Fall Gala to join hands with Spark and our partners in Zambia, Nicaragua, Mexico & Chicago.
By attending, you will help further our collaborative efforts to provide more sustainable access to education, nutrition, healthcare and employment for communities that are under-resourced.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
We’ll begin our evening catching up with old friends and meeting new like-minded supporters while enjoying the beautiful city view during cocktail hour – featuring hors d’oeuvres and a selection of wine, beer and a cash bar. We will then move into the dining room for a plated dinner and connect with those at our table.
We’ll continue our evening by honoring individuals who are making a meaningful impact in the communities we support – and we’ll hear inspiring stories from leaders at our partner organizations. There will also be a chance to win fantastic live auction items and contribute to our important work.
The evening doesn’t end there! Celebrate with other Spark supporters at our Café Brauer afterparty with DJ Cymba from the We Grow Chicago community who will be bumping up the beats for us.
Can’t attend, but would still like to make a contribution?
