BARK ‘N BALL 2025

Thank you to all who attended this year’s Bark ‘N Ball! We celebrated our past year with an evening of food, fun, philanthropy, and fashionable four-legged friends. NBC 5 reporter LeeAnn Trotter emceed, and among our notable honorees, enjoyed hearing from featured speaker Yadira Bernadac, Principal of Chicago Public Schools' Pilsen Community Academy, and our Chicago Public Library program partners.

What a wonderful year of growth it has been and a joy to gather and honor those who make our work possible, including some very special Certified Reading Assistance Dogs.

We look forward to an outstanding summer piloting new programs with partners VOCEL and New Moms and making plans for a wonderful new school year in the fall, thanks to the generous donors, supporters, and sponsors who made Bark ‘N Ball 2025 such a success!
