The nonprofit hosted its annual gala on March 5 at the University of Illinois at Chicago Forum. The evening had a "Mission: Possible" theme that inspired a unique presentation of raffle tickets. During the cocktail hour, "Change Agents" wearing suits and sunglasses sold raffle tickets bearing numerical codes. One guest's ticket had a code that unlocked a suitcase displayed on the silent auction table. Within the suitcase was a ticket for the evening's grand prize: a week-long stay in Hawaii.
The fourth annual Kaleidoscope Ball took place May 21 at 3 Labs in Culver City, California. The event, which was produced by Clare Davis of Harper Sloane Productions and designed by Mindy Weiss Party Consultants, featured a circus-inspired bar for the ball's "Circus for Research" theme.
