"By providing housing to a family in need, Bridge allows us to save the money we need for the future.  My wonderful case manager and mentors taught me how to see my future and make better decisions in a way that I had never done before. I am now, on my own, able to continue my life down a path that was started by their guidance."

Hot Night Cool Cause

The annual End of Summer Bash was a great party.  Held on Friday, August 21st at The MAC at College of DuPage, the Bridge Builders and friends raised over $25,000 to support the family programs and college scholarship fund for Bridge Communities.

The Bridge Builders Scholarship Silent Auction raised $15,000.  These funds will help support college tuition for formerly homeless teens as they pursue their college dreams.  Highlights from the auction included:

  • Medinah Golf Outing
  • Family Canoe Outing on Lake Ellyn with gourmet picnic
  • Tailgate Party
  • 100 Lottery Scratchers
  • Tickets to Broadway in Chicago with 4-Star Dining
  • A Night at the Drake Hotel with dinner at the luxurious Trump Hotel
  • Hot-air Balloon Ride for Two
  • Mom' Home Cooking - Delicious Homemade Meal Delivered to Your Home - For One Year!
  • Endless Car Wash - All You Can Wash for 12 Months
  • Two Tickets on Southwest Airlines

Congratulations to all the lucky winners.

If you did not make it to the party, you can still make a donation to help the Bridge Communities' families in transition to self sufficiency.
