ALL FIRED UP! The Annual Gala of The Service Club of Chicago
November 4, 2022 @ 6:00 pm – 11:30 pm
We are ALL FIRED UP for the Annual Gala of The Service Club of Chicago supporting our Philanthropic Grant Fund!
The celebration of the 132nd year of The Service Club of Chicago salutes Chicago Fire Commissioner Annette Nance-Holt along with all the heroic men and women of The Chicago Fire Department.
Commissioner Nance-Holt is a trail-blazing, 31-year veteran of the Chicago Fire Department. Her inspiring career began as a firefighter followed by a meteoric rise through the ranks. She is now the first woman to serve as Fire Commissioner in the 164-year history of CFD. We are honored that she will join us for this special evening.
Join us in the beautiful Four Seasons Grand Ballroom for lively libations, fantastic food, and stunning décor that’ll be BLAZING HOT! Peruse our live and silent auctions filled with one-of-a-kind, can’t miss items you can’t get anywhere else.
For the first time, we will welcome an extraordinary music sensation, the renowned Georgia Bridgwater Orchestra. They will be setting the room AFLAME! The Georgia Bridgwater Orchestra has been featured in Forbes, People and Vogue magazines, and has performed on the ABC & Bravo networks, for U.S. Presidents and for Hollywood royalty!
This gala is a must on the social calendar every year, and our LARGEST annual fundraiser to support our Philanthropic Grant program. You can reserve your tickets, purchase sponsorships or make a general donation below.
Finally, don’t forget to purchase our Service Club 2023 Calendar featuring our Chicago Heroes – The Chicago Fire Department (with a few surprise guests too…) to help commemorate this FIERY and FABULOUS evening!
