Some people say hope is hard to find.

At Revolution Workshop, we see hope every day. And it’s usually wearing a hard hat.

Since 2018, with your support, we’ve been helping build hope and a better tomorrow for Chicago, one that’s more equitable, empowered, and inclusive. 

Join us to celebrate all we’ve accomplished together.

Make no mistake: this event isn’t just a gathering. It’s a big, loud, whole-hearted family celebration.

We’ll celebrate the hope we see in our trainees, putting on steel-toe boots and getting to work, framing up futures they couldn’t have imagined just a few short weeks ago – all thanks to your support and encouragement.

We’ll celebrate the hope we witness in the connections formed between strangers who become friends, students who become coworkers, and mentorships that last for lifetimes. 

And we’ll celebrate the hope we feel as our city’s construction industry stands taller, grows stronger, and lives into the legacy it carries.

The support from people like you—people who believe in Chicago, believe in our graduates, and believe in what we can build together—has made all the difference. 

We hope you’ll celebrate with us.

We’re looking forward to celebrating at the beautiful Goose Island Barrel House.

Goose Island has created a stunning private event space that’s truly unlike any other in Chicago. The vibe is Kentucky rickhouse meets Napa winery, and it’s designed to pay tribute to “Chicago’s storied industrial past.” 

If you love great craft beer, excellent food, or just our beautiful city in general, you’re going to love it here.

Event FAQ

We’ll be honoring this year’s awardees, Professional Women in Construction and ComEd, sharing a good meal, and getting to know new friends from every branch of the Revolution Workshop fam—with a few great surprises along the way. It’ll be a night of community, connection, laughter, and probably a few of the best kind of tears.

Dress in your best business casual fit, the one that makes you feel exactly as awesome as you are. Hard hats are optional, but celebratory vibes are an absolute must.

There is free valet parking for everyone.
