KidsMatter Empower Gala

Dream. Believe. Become.

An evening to empower young lives with hope, purpose, and endless possibilities.


This year's fun-filled evening will celebrate the powerful impact of empowering kids to realize their purpose, know their value, and discover their pathway. Together, we will continue building resilient kids who say "NO" to destructive choices and "YES" to endless possibilities.

KidsMatter works hand in hand with organizations and resources across the community-including mental health professionals, hospitals, schools, public safety agencies, faith-based organizations, and local businesses. Through these collaborations, our programs and services touch the lives of roughly 50,000 youth throughout Will and DuPage counties.

As a prevention-based organization, KidsMatter focuses on the social, emotional, and academic well-being of young people. We provide programs and events that equip youth and families with tools to navigate life's challenges, manage stress, and build a strong foundation for a bright future.

Thank you for your support-and for believing that KidsMatter!
