Wake Up Your Spirit Day

Please join us for an uplifting morning at Abbington Banquets on Wednesday, November 3rd during the 19th Annual Wake Up Your Spirit Day. April Redzic, President and CEO, will share new developments at DuPagePads and a client will share how their life has been transformed by services made possible through donors' generous support.

Guests will also hear from keynote speaker, Joe Chura. Joe embodies a passion for leadership, fitness, and health using the challenges and experiences he's faced on his journey to help and inspire others to achieve their goals. This calling, and the support of those who believed in him and helped him to believe in himself, led Joe to become a well-known successful entrepreneur, podcaster, investor, and philanthropist. Joe became the CEO and leader of two of the fastest-growing companies in America, earning the #39 spot on the Inc. 500 and #5 ranking on Crain's Chicago Fast 50. In 2018, Joe sold both businesses to Cars.com in Chicago's largest acquisition of the year and continues to lead growth and innovation today as CEO serving over 5k clients and 800 employees. Joe believes that no matter what your circumstances are, you are NOT ALMOST THERE (he hosts a podcast with the same name) and is looking forward to speaking to us and promises to leave the audience with takeaways to help boost permanent shifts in mindset.

Your generous support strengthens client successes connecting more families and individuals to the proven solution of housing, coupled with support services and employment support to end homelessness.
