🚀 Groundbreaking Launch for Arab/MENA Businesses in Chicago!

The Arab-American Business & Professional Association (ABPA) hosted its first official event in partnership with the City of Chicago Department of Procurement Services (DPS), marking a major milestone for our community.

The exclusive event introduced attendees to the city's contract bidding process and provided valuable one-on-one matchmaking sessions with top prime vendors in Chicago.

A special thank you goes out to:
* The Honorable Retired Judge William Haddad for his guidance and leadership.
* Chief Procurement Officer Sharla Roberts and the DPS team for hosting us.
* All the business professionals and prime contractors who attended and connected.

We hope this is the first of many collaborative events to get the MENA Arab-American business community fully involved in doing business with the City of Chicago!

500 students. 500 new pairs of shoes. One incredible day.

Our Back 2 School Kicks event was a huge success, bringing students, families, community partners, and supporters together to help our youth start the school year on the right foot!

Throughout the day, 500 students received brand-new pairs of shoes. Kids enjoyed basketball, the long jump, sweet treats, activities, and a day filled with fun and community.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and community partners. Your generosity, time, and support helped create an unforgettable experience for hundreds of local students and families.

We look forward to Back 2 School Kicks next year!
