Place Your Bids on Auction Items
Ends Friday, May 4 at 10:00 p.m.
The Big Night online auction is in its second week, and there are some great new items waiting for your bid:
  • VIP Tour of The Onion
  • Emerald City Theatre Camp for 5-8 year olds 
  • Emerald City Theatre Camp for 9-13 year olds
  • $50 gift card for Color Box Nails

Don't forget about the gorgeous Little Libraries our kids painted. Bidding for these is only online; you can't bid on them at Big Night.

Finally, don't throw away your shot at HAMILTON tickets! The show leaves Chicago in September. We've sold fewer than 20 raffle tickets so far, so your chances of winning are higher than last year.

Questions, please email Karen Nevotti.

Little Big Night
Last Friday – Waters Campus

Thank you to all the kids, parents and community members for coming out and making our second Little Big Night a huge success! We hope the kids enjoyed, the music, dancing, pizza, churros, empanadas and the sunshine. A big thanks to Waters' Rock Band, Mr. Leki, Cielito Lindo Family Folk Music, Mexican Dance Ensemble Chicago and all the performers with Voice of the City for the entertainment. We are grateful to Adam Garcia from State Farm for donating and handing out frisbees during the event. A special thank you to all the amazing volunteers and to WatersToday for helping make this day possible. We also hope the kids had fun making the pinatas and papel picado with Ms. Vecchioni and her crew of volunteers because we are so excited to have them be displayed at the upcoming Big Night event. Please join us Cinco de Mayo to continue the fun and don't forget to check out the online auction. Questions contact Elvia Heneghan.
