An Evening of Small Bites for a Big Cause

Hosted by Cara Collective’s Auxiliary Boards, Summer Social presented by Advocate Health, Creation Investments, and the Owens Foundation is our signature gourmet experience. This exclusive event brings together more than 500 young professionals and tastemakers for an evening of culinary bites from some of Chicago’s top chefs and premier restaurants. Most importantly, all proceeds directly support Cara Collective’s work to place people living in poverty into more than 1,000 jobs annually. Join us for an evening that promises to satisfy your palate and empower our community.
