A Toast to Our 40th Anniversary - Dinner Dance

On March 5, 2005, the 40th Anniversary Gala was a smashing success, raising $110,000 for the programs and services of The Bridge. Four hundred of our closest friends joined The Bridge at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, dancing and toasting the night away to the tunes of Phase IV.

The world-class auction included a wide variety of luxury items and experiences, such as a one-week stay in a private home on Kiawah Island; a one-week stay in Hawaii; and an autographed Gale Sayers jersey and football.

Sharon Devereaux and Michael Strauss co-chaired the event. Major sponsors included: Inverland Russell Companies, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Northwest Community Healthcare, Pinderski & Pinderski, Ltd., and Tom Noe's Park Ridge Auto Mall.
