FREE VIRTUAL GATHERING
Celebrating Best Buddies Mission of Friendships, Jobs and Leadership Development

Join us for our Ignite Inclusion Virtual Gala. This FREE virtual event will be hosted by ABC-7’s Mark Rivera and will have special appearances from many of our Best Buddies participants in the Chicago area, including our Champion of the Year candidates.

We know that this year brings its certain financial and personal challenges along with social distancing. We have decided to host this year’s Ignite Inclusion Gala virtually, and we promise your experience will feel like we are all together celebrating. You will have the opportunity to experience Best Buddies mission in action, dance to live music, bid on incredible auction prizes, while dressed up and celebrating with family and friends in the comfort of your home.

We also have amazing sponsorship packages, and special VIP packages, including gourmet food and beverage delivery right to your home or office. Contact us for more information.

DONATION
In lieu of purchasing tickets, we hope that you will consider making a fully tax-deductible gift to ensure that our programs at Best Buddies in IL continue to thrive and are supported.

Through raising funds and awareness for Best Buddies, our Champions will generate countless opportunities for friendships, jobs, leadership development and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). At the campaign’s conclusion, we will join together to celebrate each other’s accomplishments, honor the Champions’ collective impact, and name the ultimate Champion of the Year!

We will have text-to-donate options available soon. To give by mail, please send a check made payable to Best Buddies IL at 500 N. Dearborn, Suite 730, Chicago, IL 60654.
