6:00 - 9:00 pm

The evening was a throw back to one of the Associate Board events. Multiple courts were reserved for the amateurs and pros to show off their skills. 

Guests enjoyed an array of delicious cuisine and drinks as they cheered along others slicing, chopping, smashing, and serving in games of pickleball. It was a night of great energy and fun for a great cause. 

On Saturday, December 7th, Face the Future Foundation hosted its annual Holiday Party for the patients of UI Health Craniofacial Center. More than 300 patients and families attended the festive event. The event was full of cheer as attendees decorated cookies, made crafts, got their faces painted and took pictures with Santa.  Every child received two gifts and parents had an opportunity to receive gifts as well. Thank you to all the volunteers and staff that made this an event to remember.

Face the Future Foundation partnered with Ralph Lauren on Michigan Avenue for their annual "Shop Til You Drop!" event, held on November 9-10 2043. Fifteen percent of full-price, pre-taxed purchases made by customers shopping on behalf of Face the Future were donated, raising more than $10,000 to support The UI Health Craniofacial Center. Face the Future believes that “every child with craniofacial differences can live a confident, joyful and fulfilling life”. 

WOW!!! What an incredible evening of giving, celebration, and immense joy!

On Thursday, October 24th, approximately three hundred guests gathered together at the Casino Club downtown Chicago, to celebrate UI Health’s Craniofacial Center. This event allowed all participants to take part in the many activities of the  Diamond Jubilee, celebrating 75 years of world-class excellence in patient care at UI Health Craniofacial Center!  The energy, the mission, and the community will launch the Center  forward toward the next 75 years as we support an incredible team of excellence and their dedication and commitment to their patients and families.

On Saturday, July 20th, Face the Future Foundation brought back our summer picnic for the patients, families and clinicians of UI Craniofacial Center!

The weather was perfect at Burnham Park, right off the lake, where we held the picnic. 

The afternoon was filled with yard games, bounce houses and inflatables, face painting and illustrations, hot dogs and sweet treats! Each child that came to the event received a full new backpack of school supplies to set them up for success for the new school year. 

Face the Future Foundation granted this year’s Adrienne L. Green Scholarship recipient with his well deserved 5,000 dollar scholarship for higher education.

The smiles were as bright as the sun, and the laughter could be heard for hours from children and CFC clinicians alike!

Thank you to every volunteer and vendor that made the day possible!

Nana’s Ice Cream for the incredible homemade ice cream and cookies!

Student Association of Medical Artists club from UIC College of Applied Sciences, @thisisuic , for the incredible face painting and illustrations! How lucky are we!!

Thank you to the UIC medical students for volunteering to make the day a great success!

Without our incredible Board and our continued commitment to our strong relationship with CFC, this would not be possible. 

To many more experiences that bring us together!
