The Lyon Family Foundation hosted “The Bright White Party” as an end-of-summer soirée, with a sponsor-only cocktail hour hosted at The St. Regis Terrace, dinner and a Luxury Purse and Accessory Auction aboard the glass-topped boat, The Odyssey, and an after party hosted at The St. Regis Chicago’s Miru. Each guest was greeted with a Slip sleep mask in their zodiac sign atop their place setting, a nod to making dreams come true. The event benefited the foundation’s Lyon’s Way initiative with University of Chicago’s Comer Children’s Hospital, with fundraising supporting The Fertile Hope Program, allowing for fertility counseling and treatment to be free of charge for patients at risk of infertility from their cancer treatment. Special thanks to presenting sponsor, Ferrari Lake Forest, and exclusive wine/spirits providers, Inspiro Tequila and Laurent- Perrier. The evening raised more than $180,000. lyonsway.org
