Annual Benefit

Can’t Stop the Beat! Friday, September 16th 2022
5 – 7:30 PM

You won’t want to miss Can’t Stop the Beat – THE event of the year for the Village community! At our always-fun annual benefit, there will be a performance of Broadway favorites by Chicago’s wonderful Porchlight Musical Theatre, a silent auction and raffle with terrific items – from vacations to dinners to learning experiences and more — and the presentation of our much-anticipated annual Trailblazer Awards. Can’t Stop the Beat will be held from 5-7:30 PM at DePaul University’s Holtschneider Performance Center, 2330 N. Halsted.

Call some friends and get your tickets now!
