The Women’s Board of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center raised more than $350,000 at its signature event—Soirée. More than 400 guests came together at Bryn Mawr Country Club to support the Museum’s mission to preserve the stories of Holocaust survivors and continue their legacy into the future. The evening kicked off with a piano bar as guests mingled, enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, and bid on silent auction items. The board specifically earmarked funds from this event to support upcoming special exhibitions, virtual and in-person field trips to the Museum for students in underserved communities, and Law Enforcement Action and Democracy (LEAD) Training. ilholocaustmuseum.org
