Dubbed “Chance the Birthday,” the party was held at Studio Paris Nightclub, and it raised $100,000 for his charity, SocialWorks, which aims to empower young people through the arts, education and civic engagement while fostering leadership, accessibility and positivity among youths throughout Chicago.

Chance posted the invite to his party on Instagram and noted that the proceeds from tickets purchased would benefit the organization.
