2026 Fueling the Future Gala

We invite you to join us and partner with Mentoring Youth Through Technology (MYTT) at our Fueling the Future Gala, taking place June 5, 2026, at Chicago Gaelic Park from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Founded in 2013, MYTT exists to ensure that a young person’s future is not limited by their access to technology. Each year, we educate, mentor, and inspire youth ages 6–18 through hands-on STEM learning and meaningful mentorship, helping them move from using technology to creating with it.

Our annual gala raises awareness and critical funding for these programs by bringing together individuals, corporate leaders, community partners, educators, families, and elected officials who believe in expanding access to STEM education and career pathways.

This year’s Fueling the Future Gala will be an inspiring evening featuring a live youth jazz ensemble performance presented by Knotty Luxe Arts, a special keynote address, and an evening of food and drinks. Together, we will celebrate impact and invest in the next generation of innovators.

Your ticket, table, or sponsorship will:

• Expand access to hands-on STEM education for youth
• Support mentorship and career pathway programs
• Provide scholarships and learning resources
• Connect you with leaders and partners across the region
• Strengthen the opportunity for youth in underserved communities

You can support this work by becoming a sponsor, purchasing a ticket, or hosting a table. We would be honored to have you join us

Reserve your tickets today and be part of this movement to inspire, empower, and equip tomorrow’s leaders.
