GIVING VOICE 2026! CHANGING LIVES THROUGH LANGUAGE
WEDNESDAY, MAY 13TH, 5:15-8:00 PM
FREE TO ATTEND; DONATIONS WELCOME!
You're invited to GIVING VOICE 2026 - ILI's annual fundraising event and celebration of the vibrant students, teachers, staff, volunteers and donors who make ILI your community language school. Please join us and meet friends, immigrant and refugee neighbors, and others who know firsthand how ILI changes lives through language!
This year’s May 13 event also features the live auction of a stunning Kate Childs oil painting and a fabulous silent auction of one-of-a-kind treasures like Peruvian textiles, gemstone jewelry, and a wonderful array of custom art pieces. Whether you're eyeing a gourmet ice cream basket, martinis from around the world, or exquisite Japanese fine china, there is a unique find waiting just for you! All proceeds from the silent and live auction support ILI’s work of changing lives through language. Plus, this year's bar is sponsored by Gateway Fiber - don't miss the signature drinks!
