The Baton Pass empowers women to overcome adversity through the sharing of stories in safe places.

10/05/2026

Looking back with full hearts and looking ahead with so much anticipation.

Last year’s Chicagoland Better Together was filled with laughter, connection, celebration, and the kind of moments that remind us why The Baton Pass exists in the first place.

And now, we’re getting ready to do it all over again! ✨

Join us this November for Better Together: Celebrating 9 Years of Passing Hope, a night of heavy appetizers, drinks, laughter, connection, and live dueling pianos as we celebrate 9 years of stories, friendship, impact, and God’s faithfulness.

📅 Saturday, November 14
🎟️ Registration is open + early bird tickets are available!

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

We couldn’t do this without you.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible sponsors who helped make the Walk for Hope possible.

Your support does more than help us put on an event, it helps create space for women to gather, connect, share their stories, and remind one another that we don’t have to walk through life alone.

We are so grateful for the businesses and organizations who believe in the mission of The Baton Pass and choose to invest in this community.

Thank you for showing up, supporting the mission, and helping us carry hope forward.

Please join us in giving our sponsors some love in the comments!
