Thank you to everyone who supported Rooted & Rising 🌱, ZCenter’s 2026 Annual Luncheon. Together, our community raised more than $120,000 to support survivors across Northeastern Cook and Lake Counties.

More than 230 guests joined us for an inspiring afternoon filled with hope, connection, and a shared commitment to building a community free from sexual violence.

Because of the incredible generosity of our supporters, survivors and their families will continue to receive free, trauma-informed care, while students gain critical prevention education throughout our communities.

If you could not attend, there is still an opportunity to help hope take root by donating today.💚https://bit.ly/ZCenterluncheon2
