Chicago Summer 2026 Event

​The Gratitude Cooperative™ and hospitality design professionals came together for a day of networking and service at The Giving Factory, benefiting Cradles to Crayons Chicago. Attendees sorted and packed more than 334,000 items to be distributed to children across the Chicago area experiencing homelessness or low-income living situations. A networking lunch followed featuring keynote speaker Clara Lucia Jaramillo-Carrier, M.A., PCC, who shared insights on leading with purpose rather than pressure. Thank you to everyone who braved the weather and rolled up your sleeves to give back to the Chicago community.
