Ignite Chicago

Ignite Day was a huge success! We had a wonderful day that brought our community together at Belfort House to mark 50 years of supporting Chicago youth.

The celebration included a City of Chicago proclamation recognizing June 12th as Ignite 50th Anniversary Day, the unveiling of a new public art installation by Matthew Hoffman, and a time capsule dedication, in our garden.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so meaningful.

Tomorrow is Ignite Day! Join us as we celebrate 50 years of making a difference.
