We had an amazing time at STRONGER TOGETHER!

Stronger Together, an S2S Networking Event, was an evening of connection, inspiration, and community building. We loved hosting and connecting former S2S Scholarship Awardees and Program Participants who are now young professionals and recent graduates, eager to expand their networks, reconnect with peers, and engage with civic leaders who share their commitment to uplifting Chicago and CHA communities.

Thanks to all who came out for a great evening. And, special thanks to Liz Thompson, Jamyle Cannon, Cinaiya Stubbs for the fireside chat, Emcee Jameelah McCregg, and our Event Host Committee!

See you next year :)

Thanks to all who came out for our annual S2S Cocktail Fundraiser. We had a blast "Rooting for the Next Class"

05/09/2025

Every year, we come together for an evening of connection, conversation, and cocktails to support the incredible young people growing up in CHA communities. The S2S Annual Cocktail Fundraiser is not just an event—it’s an opportunity to invest in the limitless potential of our youth while enjoying great food, drinks, and company.



This year, we are eager to present the theme for our annual fundraiser: "Rooting for the Next Class." Inspired by the energy and camaraderie of a pep rally, this event celebrates and supports the next generation of CHA youth as they embark on their journeys to college, professional careers, and independence.

What comes after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday? Giving Tuesday!

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving and unity where every act of generosity counts. Giving Tuesday is an internationally recognized day to contribute to charitable organizations and kicks off the season of giving.

S2S funded events and programs bridge gaps and reduce barriers to get public housing residents in Chicago to and through college and into professional careers. Make a gift to change a life, and together we'll change the world for the better.
