NWSOFA Indivisible Partner Event: Light Outshines Violence Everyday – 4th Annual Love Gala

Sacred Ground Ministries is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization based in Chicago, Illinois. Sacred Ground provides mentoring services and meaningful life enrichment for young people. Sacred Ground’s mission is to expand opportunities and outcomes for at-risk youth in Greater Grand Crossing. Since 2012, Sacred Ground has helped set up mentoring programs, student workshops, parent forums, and Teen Town Hall sessions and funded scholarships to Hirsch graduates. For more information, please visit sacredgroundministries.com.

Sacred Ground is proud to host our 4th Annual Light Outshines Violence Everyday (L.O.V.E.) Gala, inspired by Matthew 5:16: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” With new development in our communities, we want to provide our youth with the skills needed to compete in the workforce, from skilled trades to college education. We need your support to help our students reach their full academic and personal career potential!

All proceeds from the Gala will help fund our mentoring, tutoring, and college- and job-readiness programs, as well as our restoritive justice practices and scholarship program. We will be raising funds for our full-time tutoring program at Hirsch High School and parent initiatives programs at other Chicago Public Schools in the area for the 2019-20 school year. Please join us to get introduced to Sacred Ground’s work and contribute to our mission to bring L.O.V.E. and hope to all of our young people!

We will be joined by special guests Keynote Speaker Xavier McElrath-Bey and Mistress of Ceremonies Evelyn Holmes, News Reporter at ABC 7 News.
