THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
Come ShamRock for FHC photography by larry miller
The luck of the Irish was strong with the parents, alumni, faculty and supporters of Saints Faith Hope and Charity during the school’s Third Annual Blarney Bash, a St. Patrick’s Day celebration that featured dinner, dancing, drink, and live and silent auction. More than 300 took over the church and gym, as The Shannon Rovers bagpipers led the procession from the mass to the party. Irish dancers served as the entertainment, while guests bid on the live auction items like a golden retriever puppy and the chance to shoot the puck at a Blackhawks game. Proceeds from the event went toward supplementing the tuition, teacher salaries, and technology of the Winnetka-based school. Co-chairs were Britt Callahan, Jen Cunningham, Colette LeBrun, Megan Ratke, Ann Reger, and Bevin Skoglund. faithhopeschool.org

The Golden Age of Hollywood GLASA Gala photography by robin subar
More than 200 supporters poured into Fields BMW in Northfield to celebrate the Great Lake Adaptive Sports Association’s (GLASA) annual gala, celebrating the “Golden Age of Hollywood.” Guests enjoyed an evening of cocktails and food stations, all supplied by local restaurants, caterers, and celebrity chefs. Honorary chairs were U.S. Olympian Matt Grevers and U.S. Paralympian Alyssa Gialamas, who both spent the evening mingling with the crowd. Stephanie Cook of Lake Forest served as chair for the event. Bob Swanson, GLASA athlete, spoke on the organization’s influence in his life. The night raised more than $65,000, going to GLASA’s ability to provide year-round, daily adaptive sports programming, as well as providing financial assistance to GLASA athletes in the form of the Athlete Scholarship Fund. glasa.org
