State Senator Kimberly A. Lightford hosted her 7th Annual Grandparents Raising Grandchildren on April 24, 2016. The event recognizes the sacrifices and commitment grandparents who are raising their grandchildren have accepted.

This year, 21 new nominees were honored and joined by 120 previous nominees. The event included dinner, raffle prizes, a presentation by Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office. Guests enjoyed entertainment by Jordan Temple Church Men of God Mime Dancers, Maywood Fine Arts and Those Funny Little People.

Oak Street Health & The Link Incorporated partnered with Senator Lightford to offer raffle prizes and offered volunteers for the event. Senator Lightford is very grateful for everyone who made the night a success. Enjoy photos from the event!
