Year of Horse Pin

In Chicago, every new beginning starts with courage. For 45th year, CMAA has walked beside families taking their first steps in a new city, learning new language, finding community, and building a future with dignity. This pin carries that journey. Shaped as a red envelope, it holds a blessing we pass from one generation to the next. The gold horse lifts its head toward the 互 symbol, rising with the strength and mutual support that define our community. And the vertical sign is inspired by the iconic Chicago Theatre marquee that is a symbol of visibility, pride, and the stories that make our city home. When you take this pin home, you carry more than a design. You carry the spirit of resilience, belonging, and shared hope that built CMAA. Your contribution helps the next family write their chapter with dignity, opportunity, and hope.
