Toast to Community Business
Join us on September 19 for our annual Toast to Community Business event at The Hatchery!
A4CB is celebrating 30 years of service to local entrepreneurs who create jobs and wealth in their communities. Since our founding in 1994, A4CB has supported more than 100,000 neighborhood entrepreneurs and funded nearly 10,000 loans in excess of $117 million, which in turn has generated and sustained an estimated 30,000 jobs in primarily low-to-moderate income neighborhoods.
A4CB has reached this significant milestone thanks to partners like you. Please join us in toasting to 30 years (and counting!) this September.
Toast will gather small business owners, community leaders, and organizational partners to highlight the importance of local entrepreneurs who strengthen our communities. The event will feature door prizes, music, a short program featuring an A4CB client keynote speaker, and delicious food and beverages provided by A4CB clients.
Ticket prices are $175 for general admission and $100 for nonprofit employees and A4CB clients.
You can learn about sponsorship opportunities at Toast here. For more information, please contact Lauren Davis at ldavis@a4cb.org or (773) 839-9714.
With your support, we can build on our impact and help more neighborhood businesses and communities grow!
We look forward to seeing you at Toast to Community Business on September 19
RegisterToast to Community Business Keynote Speaker
Toast’s short program will feature inspiring words from Chef Trinisa Williams, owner of Trini’s Tasty Pastries and Catering. At seven years old, Trinisa began cooking and fell in love with all things food-related, and especially pastries. In 2018, she started her business which is currently operating out of The Hatchery. Trinisa caters events all over Chicago and provides pastries to local cafes.
By purchasing your ticket for Toast to Community Business, you support A4CB’s work with local entrepreneurs, like Trinisa, who are creating jobs and economic growth in their neighborhoods.
