Less than 5 Days Left to Nominate for the 2017 Awards!

Helping children is hard work.

Too often the people on the frontlines every day working to build a brighter future for our children recieve little to no recognition for their tireless dedication and transformative impact on the lives of children in need. 

Each year during our annual Awards celebration, Bright Promises seizes the opportunity to shine a spotlight on these movers and shakers who are doing incredible work to create opportunities for Chicago kids. We need your help to find those individuals who have made an outstanding contribution and deserve to be celebrated!

Nominations are open until Friday, April 21 at 5:00pm.

Take 3-minutes to submit your nomination and you could make a special difference in the life of someone who has dedicated themselves to making a difference for kids.
