Preparations Underway for Our Annual Benefit: Glencoe Under the Stars

Family Service of Glencoe is thrilled to announce our annual benefit Glencoe Under the Stars taking place on the shores of Lake Michigan at 7 p.m., Saturday, May 16, at the outdoor terrace and architecturally-renowned spaces of North Shore Congregation Israel.

With a “Backyard BBQ” theme, the annual fundraiser will have a country cocktail chic feel with a sit-down dinner catered by well-known Chicago barbecue restaurant Smoque and Glencoe’s own Apple A Day catering. The evening will feature live and silent auctions, and dancing to the music of local Chicago band Jonas Friddle and the Majority.

“We are so excited to be celebrating the power of community through our annual benefit,” said Marilyn Perlman, president of the board of directors of Family Service of Glencoe.  “The proceeds from this event will continue to support the always evolving work FSG does in supporting the emotional well-being of all who live and work in Glencoe.”

The evening has been generously supported by local businesses and individuals through an underwriting campaign.  Corporate underwriters include: Schiff Hardin LLP, BMO Harris Bank, Andrea Goldman Design, J.P. Morgan, North Shore Community Bank & Trust Company, AdCap Securities, Green Bay Cycles, Highgate Builders, Jennings on the Park Real Estate, MB Financial Bank, Muller Auto Group, and Swisher & Walker Financial Group.

Tickets are available for purchase at www.glencoeunderthestars.org. Underwriting opportunities are still available through May 1. With the past two years of “Glencoe Under the Stars” selling out, tickets for this special celebration will go fast.

Co-chaired by FSG board members Jennifer Adler, Erika Goldstein and Allison Schatz, the proceeds from this annual fundraiser support FSG’s family-strengthening programs and services, including individual, couples and family counseling, available at a sliding scale; youth and family outreach programs including Glencoe Parent Connection, senior assistance, and more.

We look forward to celebrating with you on May 16!
