Thank You!
This year's Holiday Celebration held at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago was a great record-breaking success! Sponsorships, donations, live and silent auctions, wine raffle and giving tree purchases raised more than $1 Million in gross proceeds and still counting!
Guests enjoyed great food, fun and fellowship. Many danced the night away to the music of Grammy Award Winner Sammie Torres and the Pilsen Art Ensemble.
Performances by the Calumet Center’s Out of School Children’s Community Choir and the North Center Children’s Band were among the highlights of the evening. A moving acceptance speech by Family of the Year honoree Robert C. Knuepfer, Jr. reminded all in attendance of the importance of giving back and making a difference. Thank you to all who contributed to making the evening such a success!
