Come Fly With Us

For over 15 years, Spark Ventures has been providing sustainable solutions that lift communities out of poverty and empower future leaders. With a steadfast focus on social responsibility, humility and human dignity, we’re as committed as ever to continue this journey together.

Our fully in-person 2023 Wine & Dine event provides an opportunity for us to come together once again, connect with one another, and strengthen our commitment to creating a future where the individuals within the communities we support can achieve their greatest potential.

Come fly with us through a fun evening that will empower communities around the world!

What’s Included?

This fully in-person evening will feature hors d’oeuvres, a buffet and a selection of wine, beer and spirits. As we travel through the evening, we’ll hear impactful stories from our partner organizations and have the opportunity to contribute to the important work we do in Zambia, Nicaragua, Mexico and Chicago. Enjoy a chance to connect with like-minded individuals, bid on live and silent auction items, participate in a raffle, bust a move with help from the DJ and capture memories in a photo booth. We look forward to having you join us to support and celebrate Spark’s impact around the world.
