Planned Parenthood Generations Gala

Over the past year, Planned Parenthood has led the way in protecting contraception, breast cancer screenings, HIV and STI testing and treatment, annual exams, and sexual education—especially for low income women—in the face of unprecedented attacks aimed at limiting access to essential healthcare.

 

Join Planned Parenthood of Illinois at our annual Generations Gala to celebrate recent victories and to say “We Stand with Planned Parenthood” as we work to ensure reproductive healthcare is available today and for future generations.
