Come together for a beloved evening of conversation, community, and heartfelt giving at the annual Bell Gala. We invite everyone (21 yrs and older) to join us and show their support for Bell.

The Gala Committee is thrilled to share that this year’s fundraising will support two initiatives at the very heart of our Bell community.

First, we’re expanding the Chicago Hearing Society residency to provide ASL classes for K–2 students in both the Neighborhood and Options programs. Second, we’ll be funding a much-needed remodel of a space that truly sits at the center of our community: the Bell library.

The evening will feature all your favorites—our silent auction, signature cocktails, great food, and plenty of dancing—along with the return of the wine pull and a few new surprises this year, all from the heart.

Cocktail attire is encouraged, but not mandatory.

**** Free street parking , as well as a coat check.****
