Support the vital work of the Illinois League at our 2026 Champions of Democracy Brunch! We will present U.S. Senator Dick Durbin with the inaugural ‘Champion of Democracy’ award, recognizing a distinguished Illinoisan who has served our state by exemplifying democratic values.

Also speaking will be Congressman Bill Foster and Consul General of the Republic of Lithuania in Chicago Regimantas Jablonskas.

We look forward to an exciting morning gathering with League friends in beautiful Cantigny Park, where we will enjoy a delicious brunch and toast the League's work to make Illinois' democracy stronger every single day.

Your $100 ticket directly supports the advocacy, the organizing, the daily operations that make everything else possible. It keeps our leaders in the field, and keeps Illinois' most trusted nonpartisan voice strong and independent.

Doors open at 9:00 am for buffet brunch and social hour. Program begins at 10:00 am.

Tables seat eight; tickets ordered together will be seated together at the event.

Come hungry. Leave inspired.
