At this year's Faces of Gala, lives and livelihoods were on the line , and the entire city was feeling the pressure. Facing unprecedented federal funding pressures, Association House weathered major disruptions to key programs that keep our community thriving-- and looking to the future, even more uncertainty is on the horizon. But our community of advocates turned that pressure into motivation, and rose to meet our city's greatest challenges together. On June 12, our guests raised $230,000 in direct support of our programs. The impact of this generosity can't be overstated, and we're deeply moved to have so many committed and passionate people behind our mission. This year, we put the work of our alternative high school at center stage, honoring Youth Connections Charter School Executive Director Sheila Venson with the 2025 Spirit of Hope Award; and premiering our new short film, Worthy. Through the voices of our students and graduates, the film offers a moving glimpse into the daily transformation happening under our roof. These are just a few of the remarkable individuals finding hope, healing, and opportunity at Association House: individuals whose journeys you make possible. Our deepest thanks to everyone who came out to this year's gala, and all of our supporters who lent a hand from home. Thank you as always to our growing network of monthly givers through our Good Deeds Society , which welcomed dozens of new members at Faces of Hope 2025. If you weren't able to attend this year, you can still make an impact today on our website. Help us rise above the challenges ahead at the link below. --

Our CEO Juan Carlos and High School Principal David went head to head in the Chicago Spring Half Marathon, fundraising for the House! The Association House Run Club laced up and showed out at this year’s Chicago Spring Half Marathon—and we’re still riding the runner’s high! Our runners went above and beyond with their fundraising efforts, smashing our original goal and raising nearly $3,000 in support of Association House programs. Each stride helped fuel vital community services, and we couldn’t be prouder of our runners and supporters who made it all happen. Among the highlights of race day was a friendly showdown between Association House CEO Juan Carlos Linares and Association House High School Principal David Pieper. The two crossed the finish line just seconds apart, with a final runtime of 1 hour and 8 minutes. (Extra props to our principal who didn't even train! All that time running up and down the hallways paid off...) The Association House Run Club was formed to unite runners of all skill levels around a shared mission: building stronger, healthier communities . We meet biweekly for group runs in Humboldt Park, and welcome anyone who wants to stay active, support a good cause, and make new connections. Whether you're training for your first 5K or just looking for some accountability buddies to keep moving, there’s a spot for you in our crew. The Run Club isn’t just about fitness—it’s about showing up for our community. Every step we take helps support the wraparound services Association House offers, from mental health care and youth development to job training and housing assistance . Our participation in races like the Chicago Spring Half Marathon helps raise both awareness and critical funds for these efforts, and this year’s success proves what we can do together. ▪ -- Want to get involved?

After graduating our Financial Careers Training program, Jori brought her infectious energy to the team at Wintrust Bank. After seven devoted years as a full-time caregiver to her son with cerebral palsy, Jori faced a heartbreaking loss when he passed away in 2022. As she navigated her grief, she knew she needed something to help her move forward. “I couldn’t sit at home anymore,” she said. “So I decided to take a few courses at a junior college—just to get back out there.” That decision eventually connected her to Association House’s Financial Careers Training program. What began as a way to stay occupied quickly evolved into something more meaningful. “I didn’t really have a goal of going into finance,” Jori admitted. “But once I got into the class, I loved it. We talked about all the different paths you could take—even things like mortgages and property management. I learned so much, especially from Ms. Luz, who taught us how to manage money , use different types of accounts , and apply it all to real-life situations.” The program’s practical, supportive approach helped prepare Jori for her first role in banking— becoming a teller with Wintrust at the historic Hyde Park Bank location . “I had never worked in banking before,” she said. “So everything I learned in that class really made a difference. I felt more confident and prepared going in.” Now well into her role, Jori finds daily joy in interacting with the bank’s longtime customers. “Some people come in and tell me they’ve been banking here since they were 14,” she said. “You really feel like you’re part of something bigger.” Jori has also embraced Wintrust’s culture of community involvement. One standout experience was volunteering at the Pullman Railroad historic site . “We handed out financial literature and got to learn about the history of the railroad while we were there,” she said. “I loved being part of something that brings people together—sharing what we offer at the bank while connecting with the community in a hands-on way.” Beyond volunteering, she’s enjoyed staff events like Casino Night and employee appreciation days at White Sox Park and the Wintrust Arena. “It’s a great place to work. They really make you feel valued.” Looking back on how far she’s come, Jori encourages others who may be considering a career change—or just looking for a fresh start—to give the Financial Careers Training program a chance. “Come to class on time, take it seriously, and be open,” she advised. “ You might go in not knowing what you want , like I did, and find yourself building a whole new life.” ▪ -- Learn more about Financial Careers Training at Association House at associationhouse.org/fct .
