On October 4, 2024, Greenlight Family Services will host Greenlight’s 20th Anniversary Celebration. This celebration takes the place of the annual Greenlight Gala, which raises critical funds for our programs.
Chicago NBC5 Award-Winning News Anchor Marion Brooks will emcee while guests enjoy refreshments under the breathtaking Tiffany dome of the Chicago Cultural Center’s historic Preston Bradley Hall. Attendees will have ample opportunity to support another 20 years of service by bidding on silent auction items and taking a chance on many raffle prizes.
During the program, Greenlight will present the inaugural Dr. Maria Nanos Leadership Award to Greenlight CEO Dr. Maria Nanos, LCSW, PhD. Greenlight will honor Genie Gillespie with the 2024 Founders Award for her distinguished leadership in establishing Greenlight Family Services. The awards will be followed by a one-of-a-kind live auction filled with exciting prizes.
All funds raised during the celebration will support our mission to achieve the best outcomes for families, young adults, and children by providing the highest quality services. Greenlight Family Services has been preserving families, providing hope and protecting lives throughout the State of Illinois since 2003. We believe that all families, regardless of financial circumstances, should have equal access to legal and social work services in order to remain stable and secure.
Please join us and make a difference in the lives of youth in care, families, and young adults in Illinois!
