On October 16, 2026, Greenlight Family Services will host Greenlight Gala 2026 in support of its mission to achieve the best outcomes for families, young adults and children by providing the highest quality services.

More than 200 Greenlight supporters will gather beneath twinkling stars and stunning city lights to make dreams come true for youth across Illinois. Guests will enjoy an open bar with breathtaking views from the end of Navy Pier while bidding on silent auction items and taking a chance on the raffle. During the seated dinner, Chicago NBC5 Award-Winning News Anchor, Marion Brooks, will once again emcee, and guests will participate in a Live Auction full of exciting trips and experiences.

Greenlight Family Services has been preserving families, providing hope and protecting lives throughout the state of Illinois since 2003.  Greenlight believes that all families, regardless of financial circumstances, should have equal access to legal and social work services in order to remain stable and secure. Greenlight provides relative, non-relative, infant, co-parent, and step-parent adoption services as well as DCFS foster parent adoption and post-adoption services. Greenlight also provides free counseling for student survivors of sexual assault through the Greenlight Counseling program. 

Please join us to become a light in the sky for Illinois youth and families!
