Infant Welfare Society of Evanston Presents:
Sneaker Ball
Saturday, April 6th 2024
We matched our snazziest sneakers with semi-formal attire and danced the night away for our annual gala, held at Unitarian Church of Evanston.
With some goodies from our silent auction, we have our community members fund our important cause during a fun paddle raise and dance to the beats of DJ Corey Bless! We were also joined by Illinois Senator Ram Villavalam, presenting him with our Early Childhood Champion Award! A success!
