Event Details:
Medmilah (@medmilah) founder of Work Hard, Play Harder (WHPH) Collective, joins forces with Elevate Social (@elevate social) to host a vibrant day party on June 22nd in Chicago. Together, we aim to craft a memorable “end of an era” celebration—a joyful milestone marking the next chapter. This isn’t just a celebration for grads—it's a love letter to all professionals and students hustling through med school, law, business, and beyond.
Happening during Juneteenth weekend, it’s our prom, yearbook, and toast to the future— Join us on June 22nd from 12-4pm at Puttery West Loop for a vibrant day filled with music, activations and community. Reserve your spot now—spaces are limited!
Theme: Nontraditional yearbook day meets 90s supermodel energy. Channel elevated HBCU collegiate fashion, varsity nostalgia, and Black dandyism — all reimagined for grown, stylish professionals. It’s editorial. It’s nostalgic. It’s a celebration of stepping into your next era, unapologetically.
Dress Code Inspiration: Think: what your high school self wished they wore to senior photos — but elevated, confident, and fashion-forward.
