Chicago House’s 40th Anniversary Celebration Join us as we commemorate 40 years of supporting individuals and families Affected by HIV/AIDS through housing and connection to care.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible Co-Chairs, Nabeela Rasheed, Rich Aleong & Terry Howerton, and Frank & Darian Campise, as well as our Presenting Sponsor, Wintrust, for helping us bring the event of the season to life for our community and raise over $470,000! With the generous support of our Table Captains, Silver, Bronze, and In-Kind sponsors, we were able to fill the room and make it shine!
This year, guests were dazzled by designs from Raaz Couture, Bates Design, and Cram Fashion as well as having a front row seat for the Kiki Queens, enchanting dancers, and a finale by the one-and-only Meghan Murphy.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped us raise over $6,000! We appreciate everyone at The Baton Show Lounge, the traveling tour of Moulin Rouge The Musical! and our friends at Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS for making this event possible!
We are so grateful for our Associate Board for organizing this opportunity that raised nearly $1,000 for Chicago House!
We appreciate our theater-loving friends who joined us for this HOT event!
Join friends, family and staff for a joyful celebration of beloved, long-time Chicago House staff member Arick Buckles. This memorial celebration will honor Arick through sharing stories, enjoying music, and reliving the joy he brought to us all. Arick loved hats, so guests are asked to wear their best hat or headpiece in Arick’s honor.
In lieu of flowers, it is requested that donations be made to AIDS Run/Walk, Team Chicago House here.
You reached the finish line and helped us raise over $20,000 to end the HIV epidemic!
