Celebrating a decade of More Good Days, we are thrilled to announce Project Fire Buddies’ 4th Annual Gala: Ignite the Light, taking place on February 7, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the Tinley Park Convention Center.
Ignite the Light is more than just a gala- it’s a community of selfless supporters from all over the nation coming together as one.
Bring your light and help us illuminate the room with joy, hope, and support for the brave children facing a multitude of medical challenges.
Enjoy an intimate cocktail hour followed by a delicious sit-down dinner, before dancing the night away with live music from the world-renowned Maggie Speaks.
You will also have the opportunity to bid on exciting and unique items during our live and silent auctions, including all-inclusive vacations, one-of-a-kind artwork, and autographed sports memorabilia.
Browse tables upon tables of hand-picked raffle baskets, many donated by local small businesses.
Visit the massive Gala Pop Up Swag Shop and take home some unreleased SWAG or items that are only available at the event.
Your support is more than a financial contribution - it’s a powerful statement of your commitment to helping children battling critical illnesses. Your generosity directly impacts the resources and programs that bring hope, comfort, and care to families when they need it most.
This milestone celebration is a chance to honor our Fire Buddies, connect with supporters, and fuel the future of our mission. We look forward to seeing you on February 7th.
