Thank you for an unforgettable Luminary Award Dinner!
On Wednesday, April 22, we welcomed over 400 community members to the Four Seasons to celebrate and uplift those dedicated to creating a safer world for children, free from abuse and other forms of harm.
We were honored to recognize two pillars of our community, our Luminary Award Recipients: Alexi Giannoulias and John C. Robak. We were moved by our keynote speaker, educator and survivor Jess Michaels, who shared her powerful story. Our gratitude also goes to CBS News Chicago Anchor Irika Sargent, who served as our emcee for the evening.
Our deepest thanks go to our Host Committee, led by Co-Chairs Sheila McGinn Dorman and Chris Roark, for their leadership. This evening would not have been possible without our Luminary Sponsor, GCM Grosvenor, and our Presenting Sponsor, Diamond and Schwartz Families. To our volunteers and all our generous sponsors: thank you for your commitment to keeping children across Chicago safe.
