We really enjoyed attending the 2024 IJF Georgia Gathering! The Jedi Gathering rotates locations every year and coming back to the Midwest in 2025! Hope to see more of our Chicago Jedi fam next year! 💙🙏

Some of the May The 4th Be With You pictures are up!

We want to thank everyone who came out to brave the rain with us for the Galactic Force Battle for ChiTown - Chicago's Light SABER 9th Annual Freeze Mob Event! Although our day was cut short due to the rainy weather, we got some amazing shots thanks to the incredibly talented Khoa A. Dao.
Check out these very cool pictures from K. Dao Photography!

We want to thank our incredible community for supporting our efforts to raise funds for Walk MS 2024! This year, we participated in both Walk MS: Chicago and Walk MS: Oak Lawn, and together we raised $790! This wouldn't have been possible without the generosity and support of our wonderful community. You all are truly amazing! Thank you!

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported Chicago Jedi during the Walk MS: Chicago 2024 this weekend! Your generous donations and dedication to raising funds for multiple sclerosis (MS) research mean so much to us. Together we were able to raise $705 for the Chicago event! We are incredibly proud to stand with those who face MS with courage and resilience every day. Your support helps make a difference, not just today, but for the future of everyone affected by MS.

If you did not get a chance to contribute this past weekend, we will also be participating in Walk MS: Oak Lawn 2024 on May 5th.

There are four ways to help; come CHEER us on, WALK with us, help FUNDRAISE, or DONATE 🙏Together, we are stronger! 💙

Thank you to all the enthusiastic attendees who embraced the chilly weather and snowy conditions to join us for an unforgettable Saturday afternoon at our lightsaber event! Your vibrant smiles truly illuminated the day and added to the magic of our event. We plan to continue building from the skills we learned today for the next in-person lightsaber event being held on 4/14/24 so please make sure you practice at home :)

A special note of gratitude goes to Notorious Fitness for generously providing us with a fantastic space to host the event. Their dedication to health and wellness is truly commendable, and we encourage everyone to explore the incredible programs they offer.

May the Force be with you!

In an effort to help, and bring a little kindness, today the Chicago Jedi got together to assemble care packages for the homeless at our Sock Drive Event. There were some that couldn't attend in person but still contributed in other ways that they could. It's always so amazing to see what people can do when we work together. We really are so grateful for all the caring people in this community. You are all amazing!!!
