Evening of Hope 2020
Evening of Hope 2020 – a virtual event
Tuesday, November 17
5:30 - 6:30 PM
This year’s Evening of Hope to support SOS Children’s Villages Illinois will look a bit different this year. We will gather virtually to support the children served at SOS Children’s Villages Illinois who need us now more than ever. Traditionally, the engineering and transportation infrastructure industries have come together to make Evening of Hope the event of the season. Let’s continue that tradition!
Funds raised will be used to support the youth in foster care at SOS Illinois, and to give the new Roosevelt Square Community Center the final push to give youth at SOS Illinois and the surrounding neighborhoods the best chance at a bright future.
Sponsorships and individual ticket options are listed on this site. We will send unique logins to your designated “ticket holders” via email. SOS Illinois will contact you for those email addresses.
Our top sponsors will receive a special treat prior to the event. Please register before November 9.

About SOS Children's Villages Illinois
SOS Children’s Villages Illinois offers an innovative approach to traditional foster care. Our model of care gives children the opportunity to live in a nurturing, stable, single-family home with their brothers and sisters in the care of a full-time, professionally trained Foster Parent in one of our Villages.
Children benefit from the stability of remaining with their siblings as well as the support of neighboring SOS Illinois Foster Parents and the entire community. Additionally, we provide in-home prevention services aimed at strengthening families in the Back of the Yards community of Chicago.
