The Rizal Community Center will host two main fundraising events, the Chrysanthemum Ball and the Game Changer Awards. All net proceeds from title sponsors, donations, and table and ticket contributions from these signature events will go to support the Rizal Community Center operations and FACC initiatives.
For more information on sponsorship or tickets to fundraising gala dinners, please email hello@rizalcenterchicago.org.
In Autumn, the Chrysanthemum Ball will celebrate community and will honor unsung heroes who are making a significant impact in our community through the arts, advocacy, social services, education, or business. Tribute awards will be bestowed to individuals, organizations, and movements that have inspired, enlightened, and shown true leadership in areas that reflect the FACC’s core pillars of cross-cultural dialogue, civic engagement, service, and education.
The Game Changer Awards Gala will be a signature event honoring artists, musicians, writers, and performers who have made a significant contribution to the development of art, music, and culture in Chicago and who inspire a deeper empathy and understanding of the world through their work. In spring, artists, musicians, dancers, writers, actors, and other notables from the arts and performance world, and FACC boards and patrons will gather to celebrate the arts in Chicago and honor these individuals.
