Presenting Infant Welfare Society of Evanston’s:
Annual Spring Gala
Saturday, May 30th, 2026
Step onto the farm and Harvest Your Imagination! Our annual fundraiser brings together delicious small plates from six local chefs, whimsical roving entertainers (think magicians, stilt walkers, and delightful surprises around every corner), and a DJ to end the night. We also will celebrate our partners, Evanson Grows and Ward Manufacturing, and honoree Cara Strong, director of finance. We will share a short, feel-good glimpse into how we spark the imaginations of babies, toddlers, and families so they can reach their full potential.
Come eat, dance, wander, and imagine the good we can do together.
