Love + Light 2026 concluded at the end of May with more than $26,000 raised, totaling 473 therapy sessions donated to student survivors of sexual harm!
Love + Light was a peer-to-peer movement, meaning we relied on passionate individuals to inspire their family, friends, and colleagues to give. From campus sororities to dedicated board members, from long-term supporters of Greenlight to first-time donors moved by our mission, Love + Light mobilized a coalition of impact across Chicago.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to everyone who contributed a session or spread the word about our movement. Because of you, student survivors can access the hope and healing they deserve.
WHY IT MATTERS
- More than 41% of students experience a sexually harassing event in college
- 20% of college students experience sexual harm that interferes with academic or professional performance or creates an intimidating or hostile environment
- Only 15% of students struggling with mental health access counseling, with many citing cost as a barrier
Congratulations to our top three fundraising champions: Board Member Kasia Sobiepan, Board Member Francesca Cole-Barnes, and Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management Golub Capital Board Fellow Priti Kantesaria
Thank you to the generous sponsors of Love + Light 2026!
TITLE SPONSOR:
The Law Office of Symone Shinton is proud to exclusively serve survivors of sexual abuse in civil litigation nationally and here in Chicago. While our legal team is committed to emotionally supporting our survivors on their unique healing journeys, quality legal representation depends on survivors’ access to quality therapists.
In a time where it feels increasingly unsafe for survivors to speak up about their experiences, our firm is grateful for the leadership of Greenlight in providing much-needed medical care to young women surviving SA.
