Chicago Veterans Women’s 3-Year Anniversary Celebration

Join us as we celebrate 3 incredible years of the Chicago Veterans Women’s Program—a space built with intention, heart, and purpose, where women veterans can come together, let their hair down, and simply be.

Over the past three years, we’ve created more than just events—we’ve built a community. Together, we’ve hosted 34 events and served over 950 women veterans, creating spaces for connection, healing, growth, and joy.

From spa days and wellness workshops, to Bulls game takeovers, horseback riding at BraveHearts, Latin dance nights, vision board parties, range days, and holiday celebrations—each moment has been a reminder that community matters, and that women veterans deserve spaces created just for them.

This night is about you—the women who showed up, supported one another, and made this community what it is today. ❤️

While women make up a smaller percentage of the veteran population, the need for intentional, supportive spaces is greater than ever. For 3 years, this program has created a space where women veterans can feel seen, supported, and connected.

This celebration is a reflection of that impact—and a reminder that we are just getting started.

Come celebrate the journey, the impact, and the future of the Chicago Veterans Women’s Program.

Let’s honor 3 years of sisterhood—and everything still to come.
