BUILDING FUTURES.
2nd Annual
Health & Future Wealth Gala
March 4, 2020
South Shore Cultural Center
6pm-9pm
The Puddle Project and Future Cycle Breakers are collaborating to sculpt a healthier and brighter future for youth of color in the Chicagoland area. Together, these two organizations, founded by Black women, have developed an entrepreneurial leadership program called Unite. Unite combines the mentorship program of The Puddle Project, founded by Dr. Shelley Amuh, OB/GYN, which provides young parents with life skills and positive parenting techniques and Future Cycle Breakers, founded by Charita Lucas, which assists youth in building businesses through their Business Boot Camps and Leadership Camps.
Get ready for a spectacular night out at the Health & Future Wealth Fundraising Gala, where you’ll enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with live music, delicious food, and a celebration of community spirit—all while supporting a powerful cause. This is not just another fundraiser—it’s your chance to dress up, hit the town, and have an amazing time!
