Strike a Chord

Strike a Chord to Support PSLS

Strike a Chord began more than a decade ago when attorneys in Waukegan came together to combine their passion for justice with their love of music. What started as small gatherings in local bars grew into a much loved tradition, raising awareness and support for civil legal aid through community, connection and song.

In 2025, we are proud to return to Waukegan at Green Town on the Rocks. We will honor our community with live music from our house band, Little Fort Saints, and invited guests will take the stage and share their voices.

It’s more than a concert — it’s a celebration of justice, and everyone is welcome.

Join us on Sept. 3 to help Strike a Chord for families in need across Lake County.
