Robert Hilliard

Honoring the Memory of Robert Hilliard

We are deeply saddened by the news of Robert Hilliard’s passing. Robert was a steadfast supporter of Chicago’s LGBT+ communities — always showing up with kindness, encouragement, and a spirit of inclusivity. His presence made a difference in countless lives, and we want to ensure that his legacy continues to be felt.

To honor Robert’s memory, we are raising funds for a dedicated memorial bench in Chicago’s park district. This bench will be a lasting place of reflection, remembrance, and gratitude for all who knew him and for those touched by his advocacy.

We invite you to join us in making this tribute possible. Your donation — of any amount — will help us reach our goal and create a meaningful space that celebrates Robert’s life and the love he shared.
