Join us for a party with
a purpose

Our signature event, the Cara Gala is an opportunity for our community to come together in celebration of our mission, while uplifting and recognizing partners who are working to build a more inclusive economy for Chicago and beyond.

Join us in spirited, insightful discussions centered around Cara’s mission and our work to eradicate poverty.

Hosted by our Associate Board, the Cara Summer Social is our taste of gourmet and toast to Cara’s motivated job seekers.

Our most mission-focused event, Tribute to the Stars honors the stars of Cara – our employed participants and the corporate and community partners who have been instrumental in their success.
