After thoughtful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Skyline Soirée.

This decision was not made lightly. As stewards of every donor dollar, we have a responsibility to ensure our fundraising events maximize the impact of every contribution. After carefully evaluating this year’s event, we determined that canceling Skyline Soirée was the most responsible decision to ensure we remain focused on advancing the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission.

If you purchased tickets or secured a sponsorship to Skyline Soirée, you’ll receive an email with details regarding your options from an ACS staff partner.

While we’re disappointed that we won’t gather under the Chicago skyline this year, our ABOA commitment to ending cancer remains stronger than ever and our work continues. Thank you for your continued partnership, compassion, and belief in our mission.
