NIGHT OF COURAGE: DRAGONFLY DERBY

The Dragonfly Foundation raised almost a quarter of a million dollars at its third annual benefit held at Fields Lexus Glenview. Led by Jessica Merar, CCLS, The Dragonfly Foundation’s Chicago chapter supports pediatric cancer patients being treated at eight local hospitals by fulfilling day-to-day needs, creating community, and offering strength, courage, and joy for these patients and their families. Fundraising events like Night of Courage directly benefit patient programming by raising awareness and funds. Laura Nessel and Casey Foreman co-chaired the event, which drew more than 300 supporters and 37 sponsors, including the Chicago Bears and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Guests enjoyed a night at the Derby with live music from Rush Street Rhythm. dragonfly.org/chicago
