Forge the Future of Illinois Cocktail Fundraiser Celebration

Illinois doesn’t need another lecture—it needs a spark. Forge the Future of Illinois is a high-energy cocktail night for neighbors, makers, moms, first-responders, students, and small-business doers who are ready to flip the script. We’ll skip the jargon and get real about safer streets, stronger schools, and breathing room for working families—then turn that energy into action.

Expect a modern vibe: music up, short remarks, honest Q&A, and plenty of time to connect. Bring your questions, your friends, and your belief that we can build something better—block by block, family by family—starting now.

Your ticket powers the work: ground game, youth outreach, neighborhood safety coalitions, and voter access across IL-01. If you’ve ever said “someone should fix this,” this is your night to be that someone—together.

Attire: Cocktail • Vibe: optimistic + electric
