UPCOMING AID EVENTS
AID CARES AWARDS
THURSDAY, MAY 7 @ THE LINCOLN INN (BATAVIA)
Join us for the AID CARES Awards as we celebrate and recognize client achievement, honor the generosity and dedication of volunteers, donors, community supporters, and employees who helped make 2025 a success, and celebrate our 65th “birthday” as an agency. The AID CARES Awards event is open to the public, and a complimentary light dinner will be provided.
SUMMER STROLL & ROLL
SUNDAY, JUNE 14 @ PECK FARM (GENEVA)
Enjoy a relaxed stroll or roll around the idyllic Peck Farm (Geneva) with a slightly later start time in 2026, and indulge in tasty refreshments — including hot dogs, snacks, and snow cones in the afternoon!
During your stroll or roll, keep an eye out for exciting games where you can win fun mystery prizes. Have some fun and help raise funds to support services for individuals with developmental, behavioral, and crisis needs across Kane, Kendall, DeKalb, DuPage, Will, McHenry, and suburban Cook County communities.
DONOR DAYS OF SUMMER
JULY 1 – JULY 31
Celebrate the hottest time of the year with a month-long giving campaign in honor of our 65th Anniversary!
This month-long giving campaign invites supporters to make a difference in ways that feel meaningful to them — by joining the AID Legacy Circle, becoming part of the new GEM Circle (Giving Every Month), an anniversary-edition spirit wear fundraiser, or participating in the Christmas in July Gift Card Drive. With fun opportunities all month long, every gift helps change lives and keeps the mission of AID going strong.
AID BENEFIT AUCTION
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 @ THE LINCOLN INN (BATAVIA)
Save the date for Thursday, September 17, 2026 and join us for the Sapphire Soirée Benefit Auction at The Lincoln Inn (Batavia). Enjoy an elegant evening of celebration, connection, and impact as we honor the people who make our mission shine — our clients, supporters, family, friends, and the true gems of our work… you.

HOLIDAY HOPES
BEGINS OCTOBER 1
The holidays can be challenging for clients without families. With the help of our generous donors, AID brings holiday cheer by providing small Christmas gifts. Individuals, groups, or businesses can display itemized “gift tags” with gift ideas at their workplace, place of worship, or other social settings. Bring holiday joy to our clients by contacting Kayleigh Aleck, Fundraising Events Specialist.
GIVING TUESDAY
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1
Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. This concept is now a global movement that inspires millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Help us reach our Giving Tuesday fundraising goal by visiting www.AIDcares.org on Tuesday, December 1 and making an online donation.
