Strong Smart Bold Awards

Our signature fundraising event, the Annual Strong Smart Bold Awards, plays a critical role in supporting our work to ensure that Chicago girls have access to life-changing programs and experiences that inspire them to be strong, smart, and bold.

We are proud to announce the 8th Annual Strong Smart Awards, celebrating individuals and organizations who have significantly advanced opportunities for girls’ empowerment and leadership. This event will take place on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at the iconic Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, uniting community leaders and supporters to honor those shaping the future for girls and women in Chicagoland.
