The Anixter Experience: The Magic Continues
May 14, 2026 | Venue West | 5:30 VIP Entry, 6:30 PM General Admission
Join us for The Anixter Experience: The Magic Continues for an unforgettable evening in support of Anixter Center. Now a signature event for the organization, last year’s gala raised more than $300,000 in vital funds to advance our mission — to enhance lives, promote inclusivity, and strengthen community. and we’re excited to build on that momentum together.
The evening will feature exciting live and silent auctions, fun games and activities, inspiring mission moments, meaningful connections with Anixter members and friends, and cocktails for a cause. Please consider being a sponsor and joining us for another important and magical night of celebration, community, and impact.

.The Anixter Ambassador Event
July 8, 2026 | 5:30 – 8:00 PM | The HUB l 1020 W. Lawrence Ave., Chicago, IL
Anixter Center is thrilled to introduce a brand-new event in Summer 2026! The newly established Anixter Ambassador Board — a dynamic group of dedicated professionals passionate about social services and expanding Anixter’s reach across their networks and industries — is curating a one-night-only signature experience in July. Designed to be a little less black-tie than the Gala but just as meaningful, this gathering will celebrate Anixter’s impact while growing critical financial support for our programs.
As we finalize event details, we’ll continue to share updates here and across our social media channels — stay tuned! In the meantime, save the date.

CHS Pickleball Tournament
TBD — Fall 2026
The CHS Pickleball Tournament is returning in Fall 2026 for an unforgettable day of play, connection, and community! This high-energy event supports Chicago Hearing Society (CHS), a division of Anixter Center, which provides comprehensive services for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing individuals across Chicagoland and beyond!
Join us as a player, sponsor, or simply to gather with friends to watch for a day that is as meaningful as it is fun. Funds raised make it possible for CHS to provide domestic violence counseling, mentoring for families with Deaf children, hearing aids for individuals with low income, early literacy programming, and so much more. Last year, this event generated $15,000 in vital support — and we look forward to growing that impact!
Additional details will be announced soon! We’ll post updates here and on our social media channels — we can’t wait to share more! In the meantime, please save the date.
