A cash bar will be available, and Chateau Ritz is happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies with advance notice.
Last year, 110 members and guests came together for a memorable evening. Thanks to the generosity of our members through raffle ticket purchases and individual donations, we raised over $15,000 for the Northern Illinois Food Bank, which enabled the Food Bank to purchase approximately $120,000 of food to distribute. Every dollar raised through our raffle is donated to the Northern Illinois Food Bank.
Fabulous Raffle -- More than 25 items valued at more than $3,000!
Abt Electronics, Trader Joes, Writers Theatre, Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre, Kabul House Restaurant and many more wonderful items have been donated.
Raffle tickets are $10 each or 3 for $25. Raffle tickets can be pre-purchased and can also be purchased at the dinner.
