Associate Board

The Associate Board of The Chicago Lighthouse represents a group of women from Chicago and the North Shore who have joined together to raise awareness about the services offered at the Chicago Lighthouse. Since 1986, the Associate board has raised more than one million dollars by hosting an annual House and Garden Walk, held the fourth Wednesday of June, on the North Shore.

The Associate Board has chosen to direct most of their contributions to the Birth to Three Family Intervention Program.  This program provides home-based and center-based services to families with children, from birth to three years of age, who are blind or visually impaired. Over the past 5 years, the Associate Board has also been able to direct gifts to the Low Vision Clinic, the Seniors Program and, through the donation and distribution of coats, hats and mittens, the Development Center for blind and multi-disabled children.
