Women Inspiring Change

We are pleased to announce the theme for this year’s Casa Central Annual Gala — Leading with Purpose: Women Inspiring Change.

The 2025 Gala will be held Friday, October 24, at Lacuna Lofts, 2150 S. Canalport in Chicago. Please mark your calendars today to make time for this special event. All proceeds from the Gala will benefit the hundreds of children, adults and families served by Casa Central each day.

The Gala will celebrate and honor extraordinary women who lead with heart, compassion, and vision, shaping a brighter future for our communities. During this year’s event, we will celebrate the women at the core of Casa Central’s mission—women who serve as business and community leaders, advocates, donors, volunteers, and the dedicated staff who make up 92% of our team.

In a world where the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen, these women stand as beacons of hope and justice, ensuring that no one is left behind. Their work is rooted in empathy, humanity, and a commitment to building unity in diversity, demonstrating that when we lift up the least among us, we uplift everyone.

In the coming weeks, we will have much more to tell you about this event. We’ll announce our keynote speaker, our award honorees and more. Stay tuned!
