Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center (ChicagoCAC) will be hosting its 10th Annual Luminary Award Dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 between 6pm and 9pm. The annual Luminary Award Dinner brings together over 400 Chicago-area professionals, community leaders, and other supporters to raise awareness of child sexual abuse as well as raise critical funds to support ChicagoCAC’s programs.

This year, we are looking for 15-20 volunteers to help make the event a success. Available volunteer roles include guest registration, raffle sales, greeters, auction and paddle raise spotters, and additional responsibilities. If you are interested in volunteering for the event or have any questions about this volunteer opportunity, please contact Veronica Studnicka at vstudnicka@chicagocac.org.

Please plan to arrive by 5pm to receive orientation and training (food will be provided), and please plan to stay as late as 10pm to assist in cleanup. Workload during cleanup may include carrying items up to 20 lbs, disassembling table cards, and gathering ChicagoCAC materials and decorations from tables.

More information will be provided to volunteers regarding roles and parking options closer to the time of the event. To learn more about our Luminary Award Dinner and other events, please visit our website here.
