Hosted by WGN’s , the evening features some of Chicago’s best stand-up comedians, complimentary passed appetizers, a cash bar, and a silent auction benefiting The Facial Pain Research Foundation 🤍

In the midst of ongoing discussions about whether CPS schools should remain open on May 1, Jennifer Custer is emphasizing the importance of stability for Chicago families.

While some have advocated for canceling classes to allow participation in May Day demonstrations, Custer has pointed to the challenges that last-minute changes can create for parents and caregivers who rely on the school calendar.

As she runs for Chicago School Board, her perspective underscores a broader priority: ensuring decisions are made with the day-to-day realities of families in mind.
