The Guild of the Chicago Botanic Garden held its Thirteenth Annual Harvest Ball recently on the beautiful, early fall grounds of the Chicago Botanic Garden. Over 500 guests attended the black tie garden party, raising $450,000 for the Learning Center, which provides educational programs for teachers and youth from pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Events co-chairs were Kimberly Burt of Chicago, Peyton Merrill of Winnetka and Riley O’Neil of Chicago
The live auction, held over dinner, featured items such as an intimate cocktail reception for twenty that cames with a $10,000 gift certificate from GRAFF, five-night stay for two at the Four Seasons Resort, Nevis, West Indies; a weekend stay and tickets to the 2012 Kentucky Derby; and a family vacation to A Bar A Ranch in Wyoming.
Calihan Catering provided dinner and flowers were designed by Botanicals
