Chicago Commons Spring Luncheon & Marketplace 

This inspiring event features keynote speaker Sonia Manzano, beloved for her role as "Maria" on Sesame Street and the creator of Alma's Way currently airing on PBS Kids. She will discuss the impact of children's television, participate in a moderated Q&A, and sign books following the event.

We are also proud to honor Iris Witkowsky with the Graham Taylor Award and Northern Trust with the Lea Taylor Philanthropy Award for their longstanding dedication to our mission.

Plus, don't miss our vibrant Marketplace, showcasing over 20 vendors-entrepreneurial parents from our early childhood programs and Family Hub.
