SPARK VENTURES


Thursday night I went to the most amazing fundraiser. It was for an organization called Spark Ventures. They are an not for profit that supports Hope Ministries in Zambia. It was founded by three friends after they went on a trip to Zambia. One of these co-founders is college friends with my friend Sally. They formed this organization barely three years ago and have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The fundraiser was at the Chicago Cultural Center and was super swanky. There was a signature cocktail(the name of the night was Spark Blue), a silent auction of items from Zambia, the Mighty Blue Kings played and they put on a great video/slide production explaining their vision and partnership. Their goal is to provide leadership development and sustainability.

Check out their website, I'm not going to do it justice!!! www.sparkventures.org
