A SPECIAL VISIT
We invite you to take a glimpse into the memorable visit of
​
His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America
​
to our cherished home, the Greek American Rehabilitation and Care Centre. His presence was truly a blessing, and we are overwhelmed with joy that he graced us with his visit.
​
Our hearts were filled with warmth as we had the honor of greeting and welcoming him to our beloved city of Chicago.
​
We extend our deepest gratitude to His Eminence for believing in our cause and for taking the time to visit and connect with the residents, staff, board members, and the families and friends within our vibrant community. It was an unforgettable experience that has left a profound impact on all of us.
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF AGAPI GALA
Thank you to all who supported our 20th Anniversary Agapi Gala. Whether you made a donation, attended the Gala, or purchased raffle tickets, your contributions helped us exceed our fundraising goal!
With your unwavering support, we are able to continue our mission of providing high-quality care for our beloved residents and serving the most vulnerable members of our community.
​
It's hard to believe that almost four years have passed since our last Gala, and we are deeply humbled by the overwhelming turnout at this event, especially during such a busy time of the year. We were thrilled to have over 350 guests come together and join us for an evening filled with Kefi, Agapi, and Glendi as we celebrated our anniversary.
In addition to the attendees, we are immensely grateful for the generous donations from many others who couldn't be present. Your support means the world to us, and words cannot express the depth of our gratitude towards each and every one of you.
​
As we enter the new year, we wish you all happiness and blessings. Once again, a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to the success of our Gala.
