We warmly welcome you to join us on Saturday, December 6, at the Marriott Oak Brook, as we come together—rooted in justice and powered by community—to celebrate, connect, and build toward a brighter future.
Our annual State of the Coalition Brunch is a powerful gathering that brings together the people and partners who fuel our mission. It convenes:
Community leaders and advocates advancing civic justice, equity, and representative leadership
Organizational partners and nonprofit leaders who collaborate with or support the Coalition’s work
Corporate and philanthropic sponsors committed to driving social impact and equity
Elected officials, policy influencers, and civic champions who value inclusive leadership
Grassroots activists, volunteers, and emerging leaders eager to deepen their engagement
Business leaders and professionals from diverse sectors who want to align with community empowerment efforts
This unique mix ensures the brunch is more than a meal—it’s both a celebration of our collective progress and a dynamic networking opportunity to build relationships among those who can help advance our shared vision.
Our goal is to raise $200,000+ to strengthen the Coalition’s mission and impact. Through this event we will:
Educate and build awareness in our community about the work ahead
Advance development and fundraising to sustain and expand impact
Thank and honor the community that has stood with us
Identify and inspire volunteers to continue this vital work
Together, we remain rooted in justice and fueled by the power of community. We look forward to seeing you there!
