Please Plan to join us on Saturday, February 4th, 2012 for our 12th Annual Gala – On Cloud Nine
One hundred percent of the proceeds from On Cloud Nine fund the Horizons for Youth mission: to provide scholarships, mentoring and a unique community of support for children from low-resource areas of Chicago.
In the eleven years since On Cloud Nine began, the event has generated $1.5 million in profits for Horizons for Youth. As a direct result of this event, Horizons for Youth's student population has grown 180%, and we have expanded our kindergarten through eighth grade programs into high school.
Come celebrate the spirit of children and the programs that help them succeed. Save the date for our 12th Annual On Cloud Nine:
