About This Cause

Amy Logan founded the Kindness Gala Foundation in 2014 because of a desire to give back after her sister had been a recipient of several non-profit groups’ generosity while battling cancer, one of which was the 2017 recipient, Tinley Wish. Amy wanted more people to know that there are these fantastic groups within our own communities who help families in crisis and who give back the funding they receive directly to those in need. Although many charitable organizations are focused on research, which is needed, Amy’s goal with the Kindness Gala Foundation was, and is, to reach those who need immediate help right NOW. Every October, the Bolingbrook Golf Course in Bolingbrook becomes the glamorous venue for the annual RED-CARPET event hosted by The Kindness Gala Foundation. This highly anticipated gathering offers more than just a delectable three-course meal; it also provides a platform for local not-for-profit organizations to shine. Throughout the evening, the remarkable work of these organizations takes center stage, showcasing their impactful initiatives. Guests have the unique opportunity to personally engage with representatives from these organizations, fostering connections and creating lasting impressions. Renowned as one of the most exceptional events in the area, The Kindness Gala Foundation's soirée promises an unforgettable experience for all attendees. WHY GIVE TO THE GALA? The gala operates exceptionally efficiently, ensuring that every penny is allocated purposefully. Guests can confidently attend the event, knowing they don't have to worry or conduct additional research about how their contributions will be utilized. Before selection, each charity benefiting from the gala undergoes a comprehensive vetting process to guarantee that the funds will be utilized in strict adherence to our stringent guidelines. Detailed information regarding these guidelines is readily accessible on our website, providing transparency and assurance to all stakeholders involved. DONATIONS The Gala continually seeks contributions through sponsorships (KindnessGala.com/sponsor), raffle baskets, and items for the silent auction. Still, it's the act of volunteering at the event that has had a profound impact on people's lives. One volunteer shared her transformative experience, expressing her astonishment at the immense compassion and generosity displayed by individuals who were more than willing to open their hearts and wallets to help strangers in need. This event is truly a remarkable affair that should not be overlooked, as it has the power to create meaningful connections and inspire acts of kindness that resonate long after the night is over.
