2 2018 GALA DETAILS Dear Friend, It is our pleasure to announce that on Friday, September 7, 2018, the 17th Annual Gala of the Arts will once again take place in the Aon Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier. Oh What A Night it will be with The Doo Wop Project as our featured entertainment. From bop to pop... the evolution of a sound! 3 parts Jersey Boys, 2 parts Motown: The Musical and not your grandma s doo wop, these five charismatic, handsome, triple threat Broadway stars with their hot 5-piece band -- tear it up, with musicality, dancing and showmanship not found with any other group in the world! They re-doo classic Doo Wop songs from the 50 s and 60 s and make em sound fresh and new...and they take contemporary pop hits by stars like Jason Mraz, Amy Winehouse, Adele and Maroon 5, and doowopify them! Perfect entertainment for people ages 10 to 100! All proceeds from the Gala of the Arts will benefit Family Stabilization Services for the city of Chicago and surrounding communities in Cook and Lake counties. Often the first point of contact with a client, emergency assistance is provided to individuals and families whose lives have been disrupted by unplanned events such as domestic crisis, fire, unemployment, or relocation, or who for any reason are in need of emergency food, clothing and/or financial support. These services give people in need hope and the opportunity to move from helplessness to self-sufficiency. If you have not attended Gala of the Arts in the past, Oh What A Night you ve missed, so please mark your calendars, gather your friends and plan to join us for fun-filled evening in support of your neighbors in need! Your generous support is essential for the success of the event and we would be most grateful if you would consider making a sponsorship commitment or hosting a table, each of which will entitle you to benefits such as premier table seating and various forms of recognition at the event. We thank you in advance and look forward to seeing you at the Gala!

3 FAMILY STABILIZATION SERVICES Catholic Charities Family Stabilization Services provides basic human needs. Food is the most requested basic need. Other services include emergency financial assistance, benefits screening, clothing, emergency shelter, shortterm case management, advocacy, and referrals. Despite unemployment in Illinois seeing a slight decrease, those who turn to Catholic Charities for help are still facing a significant roadblock and are struggling to provide for their families. The majority of jobs that pay familysupporting wages now require some amount of postsecondary education, training, or certification. This creates a significant obstacle for our clients who have less education or work experience. Last year, 1.8 million meals were served through our eight food pantries and screened nearly 1,200 people for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The department also received 74,000 requests for rent and utility assistance. Without the assistance provided by Catholic Charities, some of the most vulnerable people in our area would have nowhere else to turn for basic human needs. Your contribution gives people in need people who live and work in your community help and hope. PAST SPONSORS Sage Foundation Michael & Carol Bilder Chambers Gasket & Mfg.
