Chicago Catholic Alumni Network

Sponsorship Opportunities

Invest in Legacy. Strengthen the Next Generation.

The Chicago Catholic Alumni Network (CCAN) brings together alumni, families, friends, community leaders, and businesses connected by a shared Catholic-school experience and a commitment to what comes next.

Through alumni gatherings, signature experiences, student-focused initiatives, scholarships, and community partnerships, CCAN creates opportunities to reconnect generations while helping extend the impact of Catholic education.

Your sponsorship does more than place your name at an event. It connects your organization to a community built on education, service, relationships, and legacy.
