Raise a Glass to the First Pour of Summer

Community. Comedy. Craft Beer. All for a great cause.

After a long Chicago winter, it’s time to celebrate the season we’ve all been waiting for.

Join the Associate Board of Gilda’s Club Chicago on May 9 at 7 PM for First Pour of Summer, an evening of craft beer, comedy, and great company. This year’s event will once again be held at Goose Island Barrel House (603 N Sacramento Blvd), the perfect setting for a lively night that captures the energy of summer in Chicago. Whether you're catching up with friends, meeting new people, or simply enjoying a great night out, First Pour of Summer is all about what Chicago does best: coming together.

Every ticket helps ensure that all programs at Gilda’s Club Chicago remain free for individuals and families impacted by cancer.

Come celebrate the start of summer while making a meaningful difference.
