Non-profit CPS Lives, which pairs artists, designers, thinkers and makers with Chicago public schools to tell the story of public education in the city, celebrated its fifth anniversary at The Arts Club of Chicago, honoring Illinois arts advocate Nora Daley.

More than 100 guests attended the event, co-chaired by Yumi Ross and Cyraina Johnson-Roullier, and participated in a silent auction while enjoying music courtesy of DJ Blesstonio.

Charles Anderson, principal of Michele Clark High School, spoke about the organization’s impact on his school. CPS Lives founder and executive director Suzette Bross also took the stage to thank guests for their support and shared her vision for the organization’s future.
