LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
CLARENDON HILLS AUXILIARY CHAPTER OF THE INFANT WELFARE SOCIETY’S ANNUAL BENEFIT Photography by Marco Nunez
More than 200 area residents showed their support for the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago (IWS) by attending the Clarendon Hills auxiliary chapter’s annual benefit at Butterfield Country Club on Jan. 30. The theme for the evening, “light up the night,” blended the chapter’s two major fundraisers: the annual benefit and luminaria on Christmas Eve. Once inside, guests socialized and dined before listening to an uplifting speech by Denise Gonzalez, director of clinical operation at IWS. Attendees browsed a selection of 122 silent auction packages that included Bulls, Bears and Cubs tickets, mother-daughter day at Buké’s in downtown Clarendon Hills, and spending the first inning in the booth with White Sox radio broadcaster Ed Farmer. IWS is a non-profit organization that provides medical and dental care to uninsured and underinsured women and children in Logan Square and surrounding Northwest Side neighborhoods at its Angel Harvey clinic. Benefit chair Julia Costello said all proceeds from the event will go to the clinic, and that the chapter exceeded its goal of raising $50,000 through the benefit.
