Thanks to everyone who attended and supported our inaugural Families Spring Forward event on April 27th at Goose Island Brewhouse.
A huge thank you to all who joined us; because of you, more families will be able to achieve their financial and housing dreams.
A special thank you to our Premier Event Sponsor, Old National Bank, and the Families Spring Forward committee, who worked hard on details, preparations, and securing sought-after raffle items. Also our Video Sponsor Mills Realty, who filmed a moving thank you from a client that was shown during the event.
Nearly 100 guests joined us as we celebrated the success of our clients and raised over $13,000 to continue our work in the communities of Chicago.
Many Guests took a chance on unique raffle items, and one lucky winner was the Grand Raffle Bears Package recipient.
The atmosphere was lively, festive, and highly generous. Guests heard from the Weaver family, who came to TJF through our association with Habitat for Humanity. The Weavers said they had always dreamed of becoming homeowners but were stalled in their process until they met housing counselor Pamela Gilbert, who they call their angel.
“We are extremely blessed to have had this opportunity to work with The Journey Forward; they! have armed my wife and me with the information to create a better world for ourselves and, most importantly, our children!”
