Please join us at our annual benefit supporting youth leadership through community service!
We are proudly celebrating our partnerships with local organizations! Be inspired by impactful Evanston-area nonprofits, including Bundled Blessings, Connections for the Homeless, The Cradle, ESCCA, Kuumba Evanston, Vineyard Food Pantry, and more!
Enjoy great food, beverages, and music: Soul & Smoke dinner, Good Earth Wines, beer and cocktails, and musical entertainment.
The 2026 Buddy Portugal Award for outstanding contributions to Evanston youth will be presented to Jennifer Tertulien and Jenevieve Arceneaux, co-founders of Black Girl Magic Book Club, and Valerie Kahan, founder of Evanston Art Makers Outpost.
Attire: Relaxed but festive, casual to cocktail--wear something red! The Red Tie honors the late Michael Wynn, Justin's father. Red is the color of his fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi.
Open to anyone age 21 and over.
