Please join us for Ignite Day, a special day to come together as we celebrate 50 YEARS of helping to empower young people as they build brighter futures.

This year, we’re marking the moment by adding a meaningful Time Capsule to the Belfort House Garden. It’s a chance for our community to come together, share hopes for the future, and be part of Ignite’s continuing story. Be there as we lock away special pictures, memories, words of encouragement, and tokens of Ignite's past.

We’re also proud to commemorate this day, with a Proclamation from the City of Chicago, recognizing Ignite for its five decades of impact and commitment to youth experiencing homelessness.

Don't miss an afternoon of connection, reflection, and celebration

with food, fun, and community.
