On Saturday April 24, everyone got into the act when Comcast employees visited Gads Hill Center on Comcast Cares Day.  More than 140 Gads Hill parents, families, volunteers and Comcast employees participated in the 9^th Annual Comcast Cares Day by painting, shoveling, raking, planting, and cleaning the yard and building of Gads Hill Center.

On Thursday, May 6 Gads Hill Center hosted its annual gala, Strengthening the Fabric of Families, A Legacy of Leaders at Galleria Marchetti on Chicago’s Erie Street.  We honored two individuals who have demonstrated a passionate commitment to support the mission of Gads Hill.   Joan W. Newman, Partner and Head of Human Resources at financial firm Adams Street Partners and Edwin Gonzalez, a Gads Hill alum and a current group leader for GHC’s Club Learn program for 5-12 year olds.

Over 300 community leaders, corporate partners, Gads Hill alumni, current participants and supporters came together to raise over $65,000 and to celebrate the significant contributions of those who have made Gads Hill Center a thriving resource on Chicago’s southwest side. 

Join Gads Hill Center as we kick off our annual gala and celebrate another year of service to our community.
