Urban League of Springfield’s Rise Up Anniversary Celebration
Celebrating 112 Years of Service to the Greater Springfield Community
On Thursday, March 27, 2025, the Urban League of Springfield’s Anniversary Celebration will shine a spotlight on the people who embody our mission of empowerment and equity. This year’s theme, Rise Up, reflects both our 112-year legacy and the ongoing work to create opportunities for growth, justice, and community strength in Greater Springfield.
At the heart of the evening, we’ll honor our Community Builder Awardees, extraordinary individuals and organizations who exemplify the values of the Urban League. From fostering education and economic self-sufficiency to advancing social justice, their stories are living testaments to the transformative impact of our programs.
