Amigos de Gunsaulus (ADG) is a parent-led nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of more than 600 students at Gunsaulus Scholastic Academy. We work together to provide financial support, organize engaging events, and foster opportunities that inspire growth and learning for students and families in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago.

Gunsaulus’ 100-Year Celebration is a special fundraiser that honors a century of learning and community while raising critical funds to support student success in the wake of severe budget cuts.

This year, Gunsaulus’ budget was cut by nearly 50% (FY24: $538,938 → FY25: $273,392), leaving essential programs and staffing positions at risk.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 to help fill this gap and ensure students have access to the opportunities and resources needed to thrive.
