Description
Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart's 43rd annual Congé fundraiser takes place Saturday, April 30, at the Glen View Club, 100 Golf Road, Golf, IL. It all begins with cocktails and silent auction at 6 p.m. followed by dinner and the program, including a live auction. Participants will be able to bid on a wide variety of options such as: a London apartment for a week, tickets to a Jimmy Kimmel show, or a Ravinia picnic outing to Paul Simon's concert. New this year is a nightcap called Après Soirée - a mix of coffee, desserts, liqueurs and jazz trio - at 10 p.m. Tickets for the event are $200 each and can be purchased online at: http://www.woodlandsacademy.org/support/congé/ . Sponsorship opportunities also are available as another way of supporting Woodlands' mission of educating young women in transformative ways. More information about Congé is available online or by contacting Kathy Fivelson, Woodlands Academy's special events coordinator, at 847-234-4300, ext. 226. Congé is derived from the French word for "play date."
