Last Call for Fall: A Spectacular Night Under the Big Top

The Last Call for Fall Committee is thrilled to invite you to our 2026 signature fundraising event, Last Call for Fall: A Spectacular Night Under the Big Top!

Step right up for an unforgettable evening under the Big Top as Chicago's real estate and business community gathers in support of CREW Chicago & CREW Network Foundation, helping advance education and create opportunities for the next generation of industry leaders.

Guests will enjoy an elevated experience featuring a silent and live auction, exclusive VIP experiences, meaningful networking, exciting performances, and a variety of sponsorship opportunities. While the atmosphere will be inspired by the magic and spectacle of the circus, our mission to raise critical funds and awareness to empower future women in CRE will remain at the heart of this event.

To add to the fun, we encourage guests to embrace the theme by wearing animal print, circus-inspired attire, or their own creative interpretation of Big Top style. Whether you choose subtle safari chic, ringmaster elegance, or bold circus glamour, we encourage you to come ready to celebrate in style!

Join us for an extraordinary night of purpose, philanthropy, connection, and spectacle as we prove that together, we can create the greatest show of all.

For information on sponsorship opportunities or to donate items for auction, please contact Megan Zack and Bridget Walsh.

A buffet dinner curated by Craveworthy Kitchen as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be served.
The soundtrack of the evening will be provided by DJ Rightsize!
