SPARK 2018

Since 2007, Center for Independent Futures’ SPARK gala has showcased and supported our community in style. This spring fundraiser is hosted at the Hilton Orrington in downtown Evanston, providing a beautiful setting for cocktails, a silent auction, dinner, live music, and dancing. 

The evening is ignited by the SPARK of the Center for Independent Futures community. Guests don’t just hear about our impact but also witness it in action, from the lively dinner conversation to the packed dance floor at the end of the night. At SPARK, participants celebrate their own independence and the connections of their community alongside friends, family members, and other supporters. All proceeds from this event, our largest fundraiser of the year, directly contribute to programming, services, and sustainability to support individuals with disabilities and their families to access the skills and opportunities of a full life.
