The Pritzker-Stratton Inaugural Committee confirmed the charitable partner organizations that will receive the proceeds from ticket sales and contributions made to the inaugural committee: The Jesse White Foundation and the Central Illinois Foodbank.
The inaugural committee will partner with the foundation—Jesse White, who has built a legacy of service and leadership in Illinois. Donations will support his foundation’s extensive programming, which benefits at-risk youth and provides educational opportunities for low-income students in the state. Additionally, contributions will help reinforce the critical work of the Central Illinois Foodbank, where the governor will also attend a community service volunteer event during Inauguration Weekend, to provide food to central and southern Illinois families experiencing food insecurity.
Governor JB Pritzker and Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton have a broad coalition of members on their 2023 inaugural committee, who will organize a weekend of events in Springfield for Illinois families to come together to celebrate their inaugural swearing-in ceremony and more.
Inaugural events will take place Jan. 7-9 in Springfield, including a community service volunteer event, open house, and interfaith service, followed by the inaugural swearing-in ceremony and inaugural celebration. Event details will continue to be updated on the inaugural committee’s website at ilinauguration23.com.
