Ignite Chicago

As we reflect on our 50th Anniversary Ignite & Shine Gala this past Saturday, we are filled with gratitude!✨

Because of you, we raised a record-breaking $925,500 to help Ignite expand our reach, strengthen our programs, and continue showing up for youth across Chicago with the care, stability, support, and opportunities they deserve.

Thank you to every donor, sponsor, community partner and friend who attended. We were honored to celebrate 50 years of Ignite with all of you, and we are grateful to look ahead to the next 50 together.
