On Saturday, November 3, Mayor Aaron Shepley,
Senator Pamela Althoff, Representative Michael Tryon and McHenry County State’s
Attorney Louis Bianchi joined on stage for Raue Center For The Arts’ Stargazers
Ball 2012.
The theatre’s largest annual fundraising gala raised an impressive $40,000 to support to help reduce Raue Center’s current long-term needs – like their $1.8 million dollar mortgage – that directly impact operational needs for programs like Mission Imagination and Williams Street Repertory.
The arts were alive and thriving as the night kicked off with a live auction hosted by special guest auctioneer Mayor Aaron Shepley. Williams Street Repertory also performed a lively medley pulled from past shows’ work. The 150 guests later enjoyed signature cocktails and gourmet food from local restaurateurs 1776, Le Petit Marche and Two Tails, and danced until 1:00 am to sweet sounds of the WS Rep House Band featuring Dave Radford.
Raue Center would like to thank the Honorary Committee, the Stargazers Committee led by Patricia Petrouski and the Board of Directors who worked tirelessly putting together this spectacular event.
A BIG thank you is also due to the lead event sponsor BMO Harris Bank for their support, as well as the other event sponsors Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital, Countryside Flower Shop and Garden Center, Dalzell Jewelers, EISENMANN, Market Financial Group, Northwest Herald and Sage Products, Inc., without whom this event would not have been possible!
The Stargazers Honorary Committee members are Senator Pamela Althoff, Dee Beaubien, Steve and Sandra Pierce, Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley and his wife Regan, Steve and Leann Slack and Representative Michael Tryon and his wife Kathy.
