Join our first ever virtual event to connect lives beyond the traditional benefit experience

Launching May 15th at 6pm – Participate in the week long event May 15th – May 22nd

RSVP HERE

With the current situation as it is on a global level, we at Howard and Evanston Community Center (HACC) understand without connection, without optimism, and without stories and the beauty of those stories, the world can seem harsher. We are focused on showing that dreams are beyond physical borders and connecting lives is the true foundation for great change.

Although we are unable to have an onsite event as planned due to COVID-19,  we are excited nonetheless to engage your spirits, your hearts and demonstrate the ways in which we are committed to connecting lives through extraordinary experiences that build community success.

Without limits, you can take part in this year’s virtual event.

Join us for a virtual toast, view compelling video content, engage in a silent auction and participate in our virtual mural unveiling.

To share in the exclusive watch party experience with us on May 15th at 6pm, simply RSVP & enjoy a hosted event featuring: 
  • Virtual toast
