Celebrating the Success of ProHOWbition 2017

Published on October 6, 2017

Geek Chicago was proud to be a sponsor of this year’s ProHOWbition charity event – and we couldn’t be more excited to announce that the evening was an enormous success!

A casino night to celebrate and benefit Housing Opportunities for Women (HOW), this year’s ProHOWBition raised nearly $50,000, all of which will go directly towards supporting the housing needs of Chicago families.

HOW has been helping women, children, and families break the cycle of poverty and homelessness since 1983, and we're honored to do what we can to support their vital mission.

At HOW, they believe that housing is a right, not a privilege, and their "housing first" model has made a huge difference for thousands by ensuring that homeless individuals are housed as quickly as possible, and then provided with further tools for success and self-sufficiency.

Want to learn more? You can read about HOW’s mission, impact, and services at their official website, here.

The ProHOWbition event featured gaming tables, raffles, silent auctions, and plenty of delicious food and drink, all under the roof of Untitled Supper Club, a legendary venue in River North.

Our thanks to the Baird & Warner Good Will Network and all of the volunteers, donors, and sponsors who chipped in to make this such a remarkable night!
