Pay It Forward

LOLA Event Productions believes strongly in supporting eco-friendly event initiatives locally and philanthropic initiatives globally.

We are proud to contribute a portion of our company income to the following charities with the hope that our clients will find a way to pay it forward into the world as they plan their own events as well.

Women for Women International

LOLA is a female owned company that is proud to foster the entrepreneurial spirit in 3rd world countries where women don’t enjoy the same opportunities as we do here in the USA.

The Anti-Cruelty Society

We at LOLA are head over heels for animals. In addition to contributing to the following charities, we often foster – because a home office with kittens is the happiest place on earth. Don’t shop, ADOPT!

Habitat for Humanity

We at LOLA are committed to building a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Each year, the LOLA team, along with a team of their event professional colleagues, joins Habitat Chicago’s Women Build to help their fellow sisters attain the benefits that come with homeownership.

Heifer International

Jeanne’s Journey for Hope is a foundation that was formed by LOLA team member Michelle Kurinec and her family to help families in the local community deal with the financial burdens of cancer. It was created in honor of Michelle’s mother, Jeanne, who lost her battle in October of 2012.

Shirley Ryan Ability Lab

The Shirley Ryan Ability Lab is the first-ever “translational” research hospital and has been named the #1 rehabilitation hospital for 28 years in a row. After a family member was a patient, LOLA team member Carly Carynski became involved with the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab Associate Board where she has been able to give back in more ways than she could have ever imagined.

I Grow Chicago

Many children in Chicago grow up witnessing violence. I Grow is focused on reducing violence and empowering the Englewood community. Each year, members of the LOLA team help sponsor families for iGrow’s holiday event. The event not only ensures everyone has a gift to open, but helps families restore and reclaim their community.

Greater Chicago Food Depository

Every year the LOLA holiday party raises enough money for over 7500 meals for food banks in the Chicagoland area.

American Cancer Society

The LOLA family has been touched personally by this disease, as have so many others.
