A Cup of Hope

During the 2023 event, inspired by the whimsy of the "Mad Hatter," we welcomed 450 guests and successfully raised nearly $250,000. The upcoming 2024 event is themed "Springtime in Paris" and is set to take place on Sunday, March 3rd at Abbington Distinctive Banquets in Glen Ellyn. This year, we are aiming for an even larger gathering with an estimated 500 guests.

Join us for the 8th annual A Cup of Hope, an afternoon "Mad Hatter" themed tea hosted by Northern Illinois Food Bank's Executive Women's Council and presented by Nicor Gas. Coming on March 5, 2023, at Abbington Distinctive Banquets in Glen Ellyn, it's a fundraiser you'd be simply mad to miss!

Judy Hsu, Emmy award-winning news anchor and Northern Illinois Food Bank board member, will serve as our emcee and guide us through a wonderful program including delicious food and drinks, a silent auction, raffles and more.

Our 2023 event will feature the magic of Scott Piner, an entertainer known for his engaging blend of humor and interactive performance. Prepare to be amazed as Scott shares his passion for magic and shows us what's possible when we work together to solve problems!
