Metamorphosis Party 2008 a Huge Success!

This year's event, with a theme of growth and transformation, raised more than $70,000 for LPCS programs! About 170 people were present at the Chicago Illuminating Company, sipping on signature martinis, enjoying beautiful food creations by Limelight Catering, and relaxing in the outdoor cigar lounge, sponsored by Binny's. An exciting live auction raised $40,000 and featured fabulous vacation, sports, and entertainment packages. One of the highlights of the evening was when our generous supporters raised their paddles to donate enough money to pay our heating bill for the entire winter!
