Evening of Hope 2020
a virtual event
Thank you to all of our amazing sponsors and friends who joined SOS Illinois for a night on the “Information Superhighway.”
Together, our online traffic provided the support we need to help us navigate this most unprecedented time.
Together, we raised $116,500 to support the children and families in our care.
This year’s Evening of Hope looked a bit different. We gathered virtually on November 17th to support the children served at SOS Children’s Villages Illinois. Once again, the engineering and transportation infrastructure industries came together to make Evening of Hope the event of the season.
Funds raised will be used to support the youth in foster care at SOS Illinois, and to give the new Roosevelt Square Community Center the final push to give youth at SOS Illinois and the surrounding neighborhoods the best chance at a bright future.
