DuPage Foundation's Annual Benefit Gala
The Spotlight Ball
Saturday, November 14, 2020
The Spotlight Ball shined a spotlight on YOU and YOUR impact in DuPage County and beyond. With plenty of delightful surprises for all who attended, the Spotlight Ball was a fun, nontraditional celebration in support of the vital work needed to raise the quality of life for all throughout the DuPage community.
Sponsors enjoyed catering and/or DuPage Delights boxes of goodies to set the tone for an unforgettable evening at a location of their choice. A brief virtual program streamed from 7:30-8:15 p.m. which rolled out the red carpet honoring some of the stars of effective philanthropy. The vision for hundreds of local community members spending time together--virtually--for a memorable night of impact became a reality in this first-ever virtual gala.
