The YOUR DIL Chicago chapter was founded in 2006 and has been growing rapidly ever since. We have organized several successful events due to the support of several Pakistani and Non-Pakistani communities in and around the Chicago-land area. Our team of dedicated young professionals is continually working on identifying effective ways to raise awareness and bringing communities together to support this extremely important cause.
