Social services organization headquartered in Chicago holding fundraising gala this week

Since 1924, the social services organization Youth Guidance, as its mission statement says, has created and implemented school-based programs that enable children to overcome obstacles, focus on their education and ultimately to succeed in school and in life. Youth Guidance is located around the nation, but its central office is in Chicago. The Bright Futures Gala, Youth Guidance’s premier annual fundraising event to support programs like Becoming A Man (BAM) and Working on Womanhood (WOW), is this Thursday, May 29, at the Hilton Chicago on Michigan Avenue.
