25th Anniversary Gala
About The Event
We gathered on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at Navy Pier for an unforgettable evening commemorating 25 years of Teach For America Greater Chicago–Northwest Indiana’s commitment to excellence and equity in education. Our 25th Anniversary Gala brought together a powerful community of leaders, educators, and supporters to honor the remarkable progress we’ve made together and inspire a vision for the future. For a quarter century, Teach For America has empowered students, educators, and advocates to create lasting change across classrooms and communities. With over 3,400 local leaders driving transformative change in schools and beyond, and countless students benefiting from expanded opportunities, our network exemplifies the progress, power, and promise that collective commitment can achieve in education.
