Children are the legacy of our communities; let’s come together to honor their dreams and build a foundation for brighter futures!

Join us for our Annual Legacy Gala, an enchanting evening devoted to empowering the next generation and the legacies they’ll create. Taking place at the luxurious Midland Hotel, (formerly known as the W Hotel - City Center) in downtown Chicago on Saturday, February 21st at 6 PM, this magical evening promises to be unforgettable.
