Grand Re-Opening Celebration at Special Friend Community Center

We’re excited to invite you to our Grand Re-Opening on February 21, 2026, at 1325 S Wabash Ave, Ste 300, Chicago, IL 60605! It’s a fantastic occasion to celebrate the reopening of our center and honor our outstanding alumni students. We’ll have delicious food, tasty drinks, and great music with a live DJ to keep the party going! Plus, we will recognize two incredible students with a Lifetime Achievement Award—how cool is that?

If you can’t make it in person, don’t worry—you can sign up online! And for prospective students who register for a course that day, we have some good news: your registration fee is on us! As a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to supporting the low-income community, we deeply appreciate any donations that help further our mission. We look forward to celebrating together, whether in person or online. Join us for a day of fun and connection
