SPOTLIGHT BALL

 

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago's Spotlights Ball
Friday, April 4, 2008

Together we dazzled the night away and danced in the spotlight. Guests were amazed by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago’s performance, and HSDC was amazed by our generous supporters!

The Spotlight Ball raised $575,000 so far, and gifts are still coming in. Of that amount, almost $79,000 was raised through our silent auction and raffle.
