Ferrara

We were proud to once again be part of Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce’s annual Burnham Award Dinner, celebrating the business community’s important role in helping Chicago thrive.

Our Evoke Pride Business Resource Group and colleagues were proud to support this year’s Human Rights Campaign- Chicago Dinner, coming together to celebrate the evening’s theme of “Power Through Unity”. HRC Chicago inspires us to continue fostering an inclusive community that recognizes everyone’s pride in identity!

Our team was inspired by our partner YWCA Metropolitan Chicago at their Still We Rise Leader Luncheon, which honored four distinguished women creating meaningful change, and highlighted the YWCA’s mission to “eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all”. We’re especially proud of our own YWCA Board member, Ferrara Chief Customer Officer Edward Taylor, for his dedication to supporting women and families in Chicagoland through the YWCA’s economic empowerment, STEM, early childhood and other vital services.

How sweet it was to support the American Cancer Society at their annual #TasteOfHope event at Navy Pier, featuring the Ferrara Dessert Hour! Building on our ongoing Lemonhead partnership with ACS, the event brought together Chicago’s culinary community to raise funds and awareness for lifesaving cancer research and programs supporting patients and families. ❤️
