Over 150 guests joined us to pay tribute to our honorees’ accomplishments. In addition, we had a super performance by Englewood Idols, an Englewood teen band from Dwight Morrow High School. There was a silent auction with unique items, like exotic trips and spa products. The auction also featured opportunities to purchase sponsorships for camps and other social and emotional support events for local youth.
The Community Chest hosted its 2021 virtual gala on June 2. The Chest celebrated the outstanding efforts of individuals, organizations and corporations coming together to help those in need during such a challenging year. The highlight of the festivities was the presentation of awards to honorees for their exceptional contributions this year.
Our gala raised over $85,000. All net proceeds will be used to award grants to local nonprofit agencies who continue to experience increased demand for the services due to COVID-19
Thank you to all those who participated to make this a memorable event.
