Lumity’s Annual Benefit — Where Potential Meets Opportunity
This is the night Chicago comes together for its young people.
One evening, one room, one shared belief: every young person deserves a clear path to a thriving future. Your presence at the Annual Benefit helps Lumity prepare Chicagoland’s youth for meaningful careers in STEM, the skilled trades, and healthcare — the fields shaping our communities and driving what’s next.
Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and real-world experience, we’re helping young people build the skills, confidence, and connections they need to succeed — not someday, but now. When you join us, you’re not just attending an event. You’re opening a door for a student who’s ready to walk through it.
At the Annual Benefit, you’ll:
- Meet STEM Career Prep students who are presenting innovative projects designed to address real community challenges.
- Mingle with our STEMWorks youth and hear how their Lumity experience helped them develop the confidence and skills to clearly communicate their solutions to community-focused projects and tell the story behind their work.
- Celebrate individuals who have continued to significantly contribute to Lumity’s programs and Training Center in Maywood!
- Join corporate leaders in Chicago advancing STEM education and career growth for under-resourced communities in Chicago.

Whether you’re joining us solo or bringing a few colleagues along, your seat at the table is a seat at the table for Lumity’s students, too. Come hear their stories, meet the people behind the mission, and be part of a room full of people who believe in what’s possible for Chicago’s youth.

Sponsorships open doors.
Every sponsorship at this level funds mentorship hours, hands-on training, and career pathways that turn a young person’s potential into a plan — and a plan into a future. When you sponsor the Annual Benefit, you’re not just supporting an event. You’re standing behind a student, a family, a community — and saying yes to what’s possible.
