On Wednesday, March 8, 2023, the Chicago office honored International Women’s Day (“IWD”), bringing lawyers and professional staff together to celebrate and show support for our women at Sidley and the women in our community. Throughout the day, office members had the opportunity to take part in several activities including: writing messages of support for parents in the NICU at Lurie Children’s Hospital, learning more about and donating to a number of women-focused charities, making their mark on a canvas commemorating IWD, as well as packing newborn kits in partnership with Share Our Spare, containing essential items for newborns and their parents in the Chicagoland area.
Along with our celebrations, we launched two month-long donation drives benefitting local women-focused charities, collecting travel size toiletries and other essential items for New Mom’s, and collecting business attire clothing for Cara Collective.
