As we mark 40 years of impact, we invite you to join us for a powerful celebration of community, progress, and purpose. Our annual luncheon has always been a highlight—but this year, it’s the centerpiece of our 40th Anniversary Campaign: Unite. Uplift. Unleash. We’ll gather to honor the people and partnerships that brought us here, and to fuel what comes next for gender equity in Chicago. From reflection to recommitment, this milestone event will channel the energy of our movement—and the bold vision driving us forward.

Save the date: September 25, 2025.
Ticket and keynote speaker details coming soon.

Fuel the Future. Celebrate the Legacy.

Sponsoring the 40th Anniversary Annual Luncheon is more than a show of support, it’s an investment in the future of gender equity. This milestone event brings together Chicago’s boldest changemakers to celebrate four decades of progress and to chart the path forward. As a sponsor, you’ll help us  unite  our community, uplift powerful stories, and  unleash  new possibilities for women, girls, and gender-expansive people across our region. Whether you’ve stood with us since the beginning or are joining us for the first time, your sponsorship will help fuel a movement that’s built to last.

For more information on sponsorship opportunities, please contact Ilda Lagunas, Director of Donor and Community Engagement, at ilagunas@cfw.org.
