The 30th Annual Chance of a Lifetime Gala will take place on Saturday, December 12th at McCormick Place Lakeside Center and Arie Crown Theater.

Don’t miss your opportunity to take part in this monumental event. Thirty years ago a team of determined volunteers held the first Rolls Royce Gala at Loeber Motors. Today, this event is known as The Chance of a Lifetime Gala, one of the premiere Galas in Chicago. Hosting nearly 2,000 guests and over 400 volunteers each year, the event features an impressive silent and unique live auction, as well as our Fund-A-Cure program. The headline entertainment will be announced at the end of the summer. Please be sure to check back to see who will be featured this year!

Help ensure another successful Gala! The committee is currently being formed and auction items are already coming in. Call 312-670-0313 and speak with the Special Events Team to learn how you can be a part of this year’s committee.
