A Justice Social 2023
Celebrating Community Justice Advocates across Greater Chicagoland.
GCLC’s annual fundraising and recognition event, A Justice Social 2023, provides us with the opportunity to honor champions for equal access to justice in Greater Chicago.
This year, the event will be held the evening of Thursday, September 14, at Greenhouse Loft, located at 2545 West Diversey Avenue. Seating will not be limited to assigned tables—guests will mingle, socialize, and enjoy food and beverages from Café Ba-Ba-Reeba at their leisure throughout the evening. Greenhouse Loft features a lovely outdoor garden space, allowing guests to join the festivities inside or outside.
Join us for a fun evening with friends and help raise funds that will support and build capacity for all GCLC programs and practices.
