This holiday season, while we’re not hosting our biggest annual holiday event, our commitment to creating meaningful holiday experiences for families, spreading access, and making sure children leave with gifts and joy remains unwavering. Instead of focusing on hosting A Night at the Museum, we’re focusing outward to support other incredible nonprofits and events across Chicago that embody the same spirit of access, generosity, and holiday cheer!
This season, we’re supporting DJ HotRod’s Pep Rally Takeover, Washington Park Chamber of Commerce’s Christmas on 55th, and partnering with Raising Cane’s to give bikes to a local shelter in Chicago! The holidays are a time for community, connection, and compassion, and we’re grateful to be able to add value to these events and communities throughout Chicago. From ice skating, to visits from Santa, live music, giveaways, and food, these events make a tangible difference for those who attend, and we’ll hope you’ll join us in the coming weeks! Find out more below!
