Empire Room in partnership with the Joffrey Auxiliary Board

 

This is a special, once in a decade, Joffrey Gala celebrating the 10 successful years of the Women's Board. In that time, they have raised well over $15,000,000 and remain the largest single contributor to the operating fund of the Joffrey. That is reason enough for a special evening that will begin with an eclectic performance and continue with dinner and an entertaining video of highlights of these 10 years. We will then partner with the Junior Auxiliary Board for an after party where we will dance with our dancers! It will be a “Party” bringing back memories from the beginning of the Women’s Board and looking forward to the next ten years!

The Joffrey is a world-class, Chicago-based ballet company and dance education organization committed to artistic excellence and innovation, presenting a unique repertoire encompassing masterpieces of the past and cutting-edge works. The Joffrey is committed to providing arts education and accessible dance training through its Joffrey Academy of Dance and Community Engagement programs.
