THANK YOU to all of our dedicated supporters, inspiring honorees, generous sponsors, devoted board members, hardworking staff, inspirational girls, and passionate volunteers. Your collective commitment and enthusiasm made this event truly special.

Chevy Humphrey, President and CEO of the Museum of Science and Industry 

Felecia Pryor, Vice President and Chief People Officer of John Deere 

Dr. Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO of SC Johnson, our inaugural Male Ally award recipient 

But here’s the best part: every dollar raised during the gala will have a direct impact on our mission. Your contributions will help us continue our work and make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve. We couldn’t be more grateful for your support and the sense of community that surrounds our cause. Together, we are making strides toward a stronger, smarter, and bolder future.
