GLENKIRK

Northbrook-based Glenkirk, a nonprofit supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, hosted its 27th annual Benefit Bash at the newly remodeled Highland Park Country Club. More than 175 guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner, a special video presentation, live music, and a raffle. Founded in 1954, Glenkirk’s mission is to provide quality lifetime support empowering individuals with developmental disabilities to participate fully in all areas of community life. This year’s event commemorated the organization’s 70th anniversary. Event proceeds help Glenkirk launch new recreation and enrichment programs in the community, increase disability employment at local businesses, purchase accessible vehicles, and renovate Glenkirk group homes. This year the event raised more than $276,000. glenkirk.org
