The Youth Campus Gala at Park Ridge Country Club

Legendary broadcaster Merri Dee will host the second annual Hope Lives Here Gala on Friday, May 6th at the Park Ridge Country Club. The fundraising event benefits The Youth Campus (TYC), a nonprofit organization which operates programs for abused and neglected children in Park Ridge and Chicago. This year’s gala will feature live and silent auctions with an array of travel packages and other donated products, including a week’s stay at the Four Seasons Whistler in Vancouver. Also, someone will take home a raffle prize package of Apple products (including the new iPad 2) valued at $1,000. Music for the gala will be provided by The Ginge, a local band that is donating its talent. The four-person group, which includes TYC Board member Doug Johnson, plays a mix of rock, soul/R&B and pop hits from the 60’s through today. Ticket prices for the gala start at $150 per person. To order tickets, call 847-823-5161, ext. 109, or visit the organization’s website: TheYouthCampus.org
