On Saturday, April 13th, 2019 Children’s Place Association rang in Spring with their beloved “Once Upon a Time” gala with this year’s Kentucky Derby theme at Chicago’s newest venue, Rockwell on the River. More than 300 guests were dressed in their black-tie derby best and joined emcees Susan Carlson of NBC 5 and Marley Kayden of WGN-TV.

Thank you to all the guests, volunteers, event committee members and sponsors for believing all of Chicago’s children deserve a chance to thrive–especially the most vulnerable.
