Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago Woman’s Board hosted the 74th Annual Summer Ball at the Theater on the Lake with more than 300 guests in attendance and raised more than $1.6 million. These funds will directly benefit the nearly 20,000 youth aged five to 18 at all BGCC Club locations, where kids can have a safe place with nurturing staff and countless beneficial programs. As the city’s oldest black-tie gala, the Summer Ball has been a beacon of elegance and charitable giving since 1952. bgcc.org
