For 20+ years, Tickled Pink has been a tradition of hope and resilience, uniting our community to make a meaningful difference. As we plan for 2026, we’re elevating our mission to new heights. While our commitment to uplifting those facing challenges remains steadfast, we’re expanding our focus to address the diverse issues women face across our community today.

This year marks the 40th anniversary for the Chicago Foundation for Women (CFW), our charity partner. CFW has been a trailblazer since 1985 in driving systemic change. CFW prioritizes three critical areas: economic security, freedom from violence, and access to health services.

Every dollar raised through Tickled Pink will empower women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals in the Chicago region to live healthier, safer, and more economically secure lives. Supporting CFW isn’t just giving back—it’s fueling transformative change that uplifts entire communities.

Giving back glows brightest when we come together to make a difference in our communities. While our mission is evolving, the vibrant spirit of Tickled Pink remains the same. Our annual fundraiser continues to be a cornerstone of impact, bringing together supporters to celebrate, give back, and create change. Your generosity has always been the heart of Tickled Pink, driving the meaningful difference we’ve been able to make over the past 20 years. As we look to the future, we invite you to join us in this exciting new chapter.

Together, We Glow Brighter!
