Pilot Light Gala 2026: Feed Your Mind
6:00 PMRockwell on the River (3057 N Rockwell St, Chicago, IL 60618)
At Pilot Light, we believe that teaching through food is the best way to teach students about food — where it comes from, how it affects their lives, and what they can do to make a better food future.
Food and the environment are interconnected: young learners should hear about this connection early and often so that they can advocate for a better future.
