In celebration of World Refugee Day, we are thrilled to announce Chicago Refugee Coalition's annual gala celebration. We can’t wait to gather in person at the elegant West Loop rooftop terrace, Loft Lucia, for an evening honoring Chicago’s refugees on Friday, June 17th from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. This year’s program will feature leaders with lived refugee experiences sharing their own stories. Meaningful testimonials from program participants will move and inspire. From Afghanistan to Ukraine, the need has never been so urgent. Discover ways to take action and make a deep impact in the lives of Chicago’s refugees. Guests will enjoy bespoke hors d'oeuvres, custom cocktails, bar service, and a vintage photo booth. A silent auction featuring Chicago's leading restaurants, salons, and art galleries will be offered. The talents of local refugee artists and musicians will be featured. Please join us for an unforgettable evening of joy and celebration honoring the diversity of Chicago's refugees, and the meaningful work of the Chicago Refugee Coalition. We hope you can join us!
