Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts hits major milestone, secures developer
The Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts recently announced a significant milestone in its journey toward bringing a state-of-the-art venue to the western suburbs of Chicago. It has entered into a formal agreement with a national developer, marking a pivotal step forward, and moving on to the next stage of the initiative.
The community is invited to learn more at the annual Spotlight Giving Gala, the nonprofit’s largest fundraiser of the year. Attendees will be treated to an exclusive preview of current drawings and plans as well as what’s next with this important initiative on Saturday, Sept. 14, at River Forest Country Club.
In addition to unveiling future plans, guests will have an opportunity to go “Behind the Curtain with Tatum Langley,” at a special pre-event reception.
The evening includes a cocktail reception and open bar with music by accomplished pianist Maya Ostermann, seated dinner, lively auctions, and games of chance. Guests will be treated to a swing dancing demonstration and be invited to the dance floor to join the professionals.
Topping off the evening, Langley, an Elmhurst native and lead vocalist with nationally renowned Postmodern Jukebox, will take the stage with Shout Section Big Band.
Everyone is invited to celebrate this huge leap and help the Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts continue to move forward.
To make it truly a community event, they have opened the silent auction and raffles to anyone, anywhere.
This year, with support from Auto Gallery Chicago, the Elmhurst Centre for Performing Arts has secured an eMoke, the all-electric, street-legal vehicle to raffle to one lucky winner! Kilwins Ice Cream for a Year and a high-end Salvatore Ferragamo clutch round out the raffle prizes.
New this year is Proxy Bidding. Local businesses Kilwins Elmhurst, Tannins Wine Bar, Phillips Flowers & Gifts, and Pazzi di Pizza have generously donated incredible experiences, exclusive to ECPA, all up for the taking!
