Support Chicago’s entrepreneurs at the Seventh Annual Momentum Awards Dinner

Contact | Monique Wingard | comms@1871.com

We are now less than two weeks away from our 7^th Annual Momentum Awards Dinner, which will take place on October 9^th at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Chicago. The Momentum Awards Dinner is presented by the Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center for the benefit of 1871, its flagship project, and it is the biggest annual celebration of the past, present and future of entrepreneurship in Chicago.
 
In conjunction with this year’s dinner, we will be highlighting several areas where we believe 1871 and the CEC can have a profound impact on the Chicago community, including fostering an environment that supports diversity, innovation, entrepreneurship and cooperation. We see all of these areas as a part of “Chicagoness,” the idea that this city is uniquely the type of environment for these entrepreneurial interactions to thrive.
 
There are a number of opportunities available to support 1871 and the CEC through the Momentum Awards. If you’d still like to attend the Momentum Awards Dinner, tables and individual tickets can be purchased at www.1871.com/momentum-registration or by emailing Laura Clark at laura@1871.com.
 
If you are unable to attend the dinner, or if you are attending and are looking for additional ways to contribute, we hope that you’ll consider making a donation to CEC/1871. Your contributions will directly fund initiatives that support “Chicagoness,” which might include providing a scholarship for an underserved entrepreneur, sponsoring educational opportunities for 1871 members, or supporting innovation in our colleges and universities by helping a college business have an experience at 1871. We will work with you to determine how your donation will make a meaningful impact on the community. To donate, please contact Laura Clark at laura@1871.com or Tom Alexander at tom@1871.com. We are very grateful for the support of our community and the tremendous amount of opportunity it provides to our 1871 member companies.
 
We hope that you will use the occasion of the Momentum Awards Dinner to show your support for entrepreneurship in Chicago, and we look forward to our continued partnership and collective economic growth.
