Come out in your favorite cocktail dress/formal attire paired with your favorite or most stylish gym shoes/sneakers to join us for an evening of food, drinks, music, dancing, and skyline views, all while raising funds for Chicago's immigrant and under served communities.

Instituto del Progreso Latino had the honor of hosting and participating in a dynamic panel discussion. The event featured stories of our long-term work in welcoming newcomers and our ongoing efforts to support long-term undocumented residents and migrant families. We explored how we strive to create a community where everyone can find the support and opportunities they need to build a better future.

Thank you to all who attended and contributed to this vital conversation. Together, we are making a difference!
