10th Annual On Cloud Nine Gala, February 6, 2010
On Cloud Nine was developed ten years ago to honor the memory of Paige Lauren Barnett, daughter of long time Horizons for Youth supporters, Kent Barnett and Lauren Heath. One hundred percent of the proceeds from On Cloud Nine fund the Horizons for Youth mission to provide scholarships, mentoring and a unique community of support for children from low-resource areas of Chicago.

Thank You Invest For Kids
Horizons for Youth would like to thank Invest For Kids for selecting us as one of the charities to benefit from the Investible Ideas Conference in Chicago held on November 10th. Special thanks to Co-Founders Ron Levin and Ben Kovler for securing noted speakers like John Rogers, Jr. and Sam Zell to share their investment strategies with attendees. The inaugural event was a great success selling out and raising almost $800,000 to be shared among five charities. Horizons for Youth will benefit greatly from this substantial impact gift.
BIN 36 Partnership
We are thrilled to announce that Horizons for Youth has been chosen as BIN 36's charity beneficiary for the month of December, 2009. Through their combination of income generating opportunities, BIN 36 hopes to contribute $10,000 to Horizons for Youth by the end of 2009. BIN 36 offers 3 ways you may support Horizons for Youth:
“I'm excited about what kind of person he's developing into, and I know our interactions will continue to impact him positively.”
