Our Annual Gala
Each year during Women’s History Month, She Became hosts its largest fundraising event: our Annual Night Out with She Became Gala. It’s a chance for our donors to meet our board and teen mentors, and network with each other while enjoying music and refreshments, while learning about She Became’s mission. We always host a much anticipated silent auction filled with prizes donated by Chicago’s favorite local businesses, before guests hear from a unique panel of female leaders.
At our 2025 gala, attendees heard from a panel of esteemed women across a variety of industries:
Aubre Winters, Founder of Sweat Sessions Studio
Tracey Kahn, Managing Director of the Mill Chicago
Deborah Tuerkheimer, Northwestern Law Professor
Panel led by Toni Gipson, Program Director for an Early Career Leadership Development Program
