At LUO, we truly believe that love manifests through actions, not just words. Our commitment to this principle is evident in how we support youth and young adults who are in need. By actively engaging with these individuals, we provide more than just temporary relief; we aim to empower them with the tools and opportunities necessary for lasting success. We organize events and activities designed to build community and a sense of belonging. These events not only bring fun and joy into their lives but also foster connections among participants, creating a network of support, resources, and friendship.
Community-Based Events
We believe in giving back to the communities that made and raised us. For us, by us is our philosophy on giving. From Back-To-School Book Bag Giveaways and Holiday Toy Drives to Prom Dress Giveaways, we support Chicago's inner city. We believe that success is measured by service and we are committed to educating and uplifting youth to give them a chance at a better life.
Supporting Female
Entrepreneurs 🎾💗
We had an inspiring day of tennis and entrepreneurship, where participants connected with like-minded women, learned from successful entrepreneurs, and enjoyed a thrilling tennis experience. The event featured keynote speeches by leading female entrepreneurs and celebrity guests, networking sessions, exciting tennis matches, and engaging business workshops and panel discussions. Attendees also received step-by-step guides to help them advance in their fields. It was an empowering and exciting event that left everyone motivated and inspired!
Prom Giveaways
Once again, we’ve teamed up with Stacia Mac from The Mac Effect and Mz. Ronneisha to distribute designer prom dresses to young women in the Chicago area. Our aim extended beyond simply providing beautiful dresses; we wanted to enhance their self-esteem and confidence. By giving these young women the opportunity to wear a designer gown, we hope to create a memorable and empowering experience that celebrates their individuality and beauty.
Back-To-School Events
Support is crucial for inner-city youth. Each year, we are committed to ensuring that young people in Chicago’s Englewood community are well-equipped to begin the school year successfully. We firmly believe in the importance of giving back, striving to provide the necessary resources and support that foster a positive start and empower our youth to thrive academically and personally.
