Lumity’s Annual Benefit — Opening Pathways, Changing Lives
This is the night Chicago comes together to invest in brighter futures. Your participation helps Lumity prepare young people for thriving careers in STEM, the skilled trades, and healthcare— fields that shape our communities and drive innovation. Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and real-world experiences, we’re equipping Chicagoland’s youth with the skills, confidence, and connections they need to succeed. Together, we can ensure the next generation has every opportunity to learn, earn, and lead.
At the Annual Benefit, you’ll:
- Meet STEM Career Prep students and learn about projects they are working on as 9th graders this school year.
- Mingle with our STEMWorks youth and hear how their Lumity experience helped launch their STEM careers!
- Celebrate awardees who have significantly contributed to Lumity’s Training Center in Maywood!
- Join corporate leaders in Chicago advancing STEM education and career growth for under-resourced communities in Chicago.
