Back the Athletes: NOVA End of Year Dinner 2026

The NOVA Foundation works with college athletes in the year their competitive careers end. All of our programs run in Chicago: the free Next Game Summit at the United Center, and Coach for a Day clinics, where former college athletes coach Chicago kids.

On Friday, November 6, our athletes join supporters at The Dalcy in Fulton Market for our End of Year Dinner. Athletes attending the dinner raise money here for next year's free programs. Every gift goes to The NOVA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 39-4346784), and is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
