The Night Ministry’s Associate Board will host the 11th Annual Night Lights Gala on Thursday, October 30, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Marshall’s Landing, 222 West Merchandise Mart Plaza. Guests will enjoy an evening of celebration, networking, and community while raising vital funds to support The Night Ministry’s health outreach programs and services for individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty.

Since its inception, the Night Lights Gala has raised close to $1 million to advance The Night Ministry’s mission. This year’s event will continue that tradition of impact, bringing together supporters dedicated to helping Chicago’s most vulnerable neighbors access compassionate care.

“The Night Lights Gala represents the power of community and the belief that every person deserves dignity, health, and hope,” said Duncan Reilly, President of The Night Ministry’s Associate Board. “We are proud to bring together Chicagoans who share our commitment to supporting those who too often go unseen.”

The Night Ministry’s Health Outreach Program provides free lifesaving care through its Health Outreach Bus and Street Medicine teams, which bring medical services, food, and essential supplies directly to people where they live — whether on the streets, under viaducts, or in encampments. Each year, these programs connect thousands of individuals with critical care, resources, and pathways to housing and stability.

The Night Lights Gala will feature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, entertainment, and opportunities for guests to learn more about the organization’s transformative work.
