Big Sisters of Chicago

10/13/2023

The final planning is underway for the Big Sisters of Chicago event of the year - The Christmas Luncheon! Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse at 1028 N. Rush will be a buzz with holiday cheer on Sunday, December 3.

The Big Sisters of Chicago Christmas Luncheon is the best way to kick-off holiday celebrations in Chicago!

Please join us for an afternoon filled with a delicious meal, melodious and lovely holiday carolers, a chance to win beautiful basket raffle prizes, spending time with the friends of Big Sisters and most importantly, helping Big Sisters of Chicago further our mission of helping transform the lives of young women in Chicagoland.

Young women attending catholic high schools in and around Chicago depend on Big Sisters of Chicago to help them with tuition support! We also support the Catholic Charities Arts of Living program, which supports young mothers and their children.

We have been dedicated to supporting young women in our communities for more than 100 years. We humbly invite you to join us for a Good Tidings of Comfort and Joy afternoon at Gibsons on December 3.

Dear Big Sisters and Friends of Big Sisters,

We are incredibly delighted to announce the return of the annual Holiday Brunch. Our mission continues and we look forward to a beautiful celebration together after so much time apart.

Currently we are in our 105th year serving girls and women in need of assistance and meeting the requests and calls of need from Catholic Charities. With your help, we can keep the ever-changing and evolving needs at the forefront of our local communities. With your sustained support, we will be able to serve more, and in more ways.

Our scholarship recipients currently attend the following Catholic high schools:
Christo Rey
Christ the King
De La Salle Institute
Holy Trinity
Mother McCauley
Trinity High School
St. Ignatius College Prep

We have several seniors graduating in spring 2023! Our scholarship recipients were excited to return to in-person learning this school year. They maintain impressive GPA’s, participate in various sports, clubs, extra-curricular activities, and have high aspirations for their futures. We’re delighted to share some highlights of their experiences within this communication.

Our continued prayer is for you to continue your financial support, so we can continue providing services to those in need. As most are aware this is our annual Angel Choir solicitation. Please consider giving to this, our only donation request in 2022. Let us make God the focus of everything we do by including Him in the celebrations of the season, and in the simplest of activities and events in our lives. Help us brighten other lives, bear each other’s burdens, ease each other’s loads, and fill each other’s hearts and lives with generous gifts. May God bless you and your families this holiday season. We wish you the Merriest Christmas and the Happiest and Healthiest New Year.
