What a fabulous time we had at our 2026 Dinner Dance! The food, music, and awards were wonderful, and the company was even better! This year, we had even more to celebrate, as 2026 marks the 50th Anniversary of South Chicago Parents & Friends–fifty years of proudly supporting and enriching the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Thank you to all who supported us by attending, sponsoring, donating, and placing ads in the keepsake commemorative program/ad book that each of our attendees receives. We could not have accomplished any of this without you!
