Charity of the Month : Signature Room at the 95th

Signature Room at the 95th - When the Sky is the Limit...

The Signature Room at the 95th® feels very strongly in giving back to the community. The Charity of the Month program was founded in 1993 by owners Rick Roman and Nick Pyknis.

Thanks to our partnership with a variety of local non-profit organizations, we are able to have a direct impact on the number of people we help through our Charity of the Month program. Since the inception of the program, The Signature Room at the 95th® has donated over $560,000 to 184 non-profit organizations in the Chicagoland area.

How the Program Works:

The Signature Room at the 95th® offers a monthly, four-course dinner menu, known as the “Signature Selection” menu. The selected non-profit organization receives 10% of the sales from this menu, which is offered throughout the sponsored month.

Each month The Signature Room at the 95th® hosts a reception on behalf of the featured charity organization. All profits from the reception go directly to the Charity of the Month organization.

Review Process:

At the end of June, all applications are submitted and reviewed by the executive committee, in the order applications were received, for consideration for the following program year.

At the end of July, notifications of selection and non-selection are sent out to all applying organizations.

As a policy, we do not meet with candidate organizations. This policy was implemented to maintain the equality in the selection process. All applications are reviewed and selected based solely on the information submitted by candidate organizations and research conducted by our staff.
