The Center for Civic Innovation is turning 11 — and we’re marking the moment with joy, jokes, and just the right amount of chaos. Join us at Dad’s Garage for a one-of-a-kind night of improv, storytelling, and celebration. This isn’t your average birthday party. It’s a celebration of resilience, ridiculousness, and real connection — featuring guest performances from CCI’s community of change-makers: former fellows, Good Trouble honorees, and folks from across Atlanta doing the hard (and hilarious) work of making this city better. Professional improvisers bring the comedy Surprise guests keep you on your toes Dinner is included with every ticket New this year: a raffle with local prizes you’ll actually want And to cap it all off, we’ll announce our 2025 Good Trouble Honorees — community leaders carrying on the legacy of Congressman John Lewis by getting into “necessary, good trouble. ” Because even in hard times, laughter is power — and joy is a tool for building the future we all deserve. Let’s celebrate. Let’s connect. Let’s laugh on purpose.
