Starlets and leading men dressed in their red carpet best added an extra dash of glamour to this year’s Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club (HJWC) benefit. To mark 75 years of friendship and fundraising, the diamond theme inspired dazzling ensembles on every VIP, which on this special evening stood for Very Important Philanthropist. With every bid and paddle raise, guests elevated HJWC’s grant program. Each year, HJWC awards an average of 20 grants, ranging from $1,000 to $50,000, to deserving Chicagoland organizations, funding needs that provide enduring benefits, such as vans, playgrounds, equipment, and more. The annual benefit ensures these meaningful gifts to the community continue. Cheers to 75 years! hjwc.us
