MPOWER THE NIGHT
Thank you to our Metropolitan family for an Mpowered
celebration of community and youth leadership at our 44th Annual Mpower the Night!
With your support, we raised over $2.17 million
and growing!
On Saturday, November 25, 2025, we welcomed nearly 500 guests and proudly recognized ComEd, an Exelon Company, and its President and CEO, Gil Quiniones, with this year’s
Legacy Award.
We also extend a heartfelt thanks to our Host Committee, especially our Board Chair, Erik Barefield, for their support.
Will you help us Mpower even more families?
You can still support Mpower the Night with a donation!
