Honoring the Past. Building the Future.

Chicago Commons will celebrate its 130th year of service with an anniversary gala on Friday, May 10th, 2024. The event, which will take place at Morgan Manufacturing, marks a significant milestone for the organization as we look back on our generations of impact in Chicago. It also marks an inflection point for the incredible growth Commons has seen over the last few years. We are proud to dedicate this event to the following theme: Honoring the Past. Building the Future.

Our 130th Anniversary Gala celebrates our rich history and meaningful success in empowering families towards education attainment, economic security, and well-being. The evening will include a cocktail reception, dinner, activities featuring and inspired by our programs, and an after-party presented by the Commons Emerging Leaders Council.
