✨ Join us for a special evening of celebration, remembrance, and impact.&nbsp; We are thrilled to announce that our Annual Gala will be held on Saturday May 9th, 2026 &mdash; and this year is extra special. We are celebrating 15 years of service, impact, and community through the Music Box Foundation! For over a decade, we have remained committed to empowering young musicians and creatives, and we can&rsquo;t wait to honor this milestone with you. The Harmony Unleashed Gala supports our commitment to keeping our music and arts programs free and accessible for youth in Chicago, while also supporting our mission to provide invigorating activities to South Side communities. This ensures that cost is never a barrier to creativity, learning, and opportunity. The evening will also be a heartfelt tribute as we honor our late Executive Director, Kijuana Carter, by introducing an arts scholarship in her name - KiKi&#39;s Promise.&nbsp; By attending, donating, and/or sponsoring, you&rsquo;re helping us carry Kijuana&rsquo;s legacy forward and invest directly in the next generation.&nbsp; <a fr-original-style="" href="https://mbfonboarding.my.canva.site/gala-sponsorships" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Sponsorship Opportunities available here!</a><a fr-original-style="" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TZh1sBy4eDQaF9rD__1z7yOZ8_bBypMM/edit?usp=copy" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Business Owner Spotlight Opportunity available here!</a> We invite you to celebrate with us and be part of this meaningful night.

Summer Sounds is a celebration of youth creativity, talent, and community as we prepare for the start of a new school year. This event gives young bands a platform to perform, grow as artists, and share their voices with the community in a meaningful way. Through this campaign, we are raising funds to create safe and inspiring spaces where youth musicians can rehearse, collaborate, and perform while also ensuring they are compensated for their hard work, dedication, and creativity. We believe young artists deserve to be valued and supported as they develop their craft and confidence. Summer Sounds is more than a concert &mdash; it is a space where young people build leadership, teamwork, self-expression, and lasting connections through music. Every contribution helps us continue investing in the next generation of artists and creating experiences that inspire them both on and off the stage.Together, we can uplift young voices, strengthen our community, and celebrate the power of music to shape bright futures.
