Earlier this year, we shared the inspiring story of Floyd Cummings, a former pro boxer who regained his independence after a stay in a nursing home with the help of Association House. We knew his stories and advice would be a hit, but what we didn't expect was our video story making its way across the Internet to Floyd's estranged family! 🤯🤯

💃💅🏻 Last week, we got a crash course in the art of voguing at the Care2Prevent Self Care Fair in Chatham! Afterschool classes in this iconic dance style are just one of many healthy outlets for expression to support youth on the South Side.

Few people have left as profound an impact at Association House as our dear friend, Ron Kurz, who passed away in late August. Today, we celebrate and remember his extraordinary legacy.
Ron served as a member of our Board of Directors for 53 years, from 1971 to 2024. Throughout his lifetime of service, Ron’s vision and commitment were instrumental in shaping the direction and success of Association House’s mission.
We vow to honor Ron's spirit of change through our work in the community, and extend our heartfelt condolences to Ron’s family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know him.
