Erika's Lighthouse 10th Anniversary Gala
Erika’s
Lighthouse invites you to join them at their 10th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, May 3rd for an evening to celebrate 10 years of being “A Beacon of Hope for Adolescent Depression”.
This is
the second benefit Erika’s Lighthouse has hosted, and this year is all about
paying homage to the past, celebrating the present and gearing up for the
exciting possibilities of the future of youth mental health education.
Gala
co-chairs, Beth Brady and Linda Monico, along with the support of the Erika’s
Lighthouse Party Committee, Executive Council and Board of Directors, have
envisioned an energetic and elegant night of drinks, seated dinner and dancing to
the music of “The T-Byrdz”.

The
evening’s events will take place at
Michigan Shores Club in Wilmette along the natural beauty of a moonlit Lake
Michigan, a perfect venue to honor the lighthouse and what it symbolizes – to
shed light on a common, serious and treatable illness of youth that has been
left in the dark.
The event
would not be possible without sponsors, which include BMO Harris Bank, a
gracious partner who has generously offered to match donations leading up to
and on the night of the gala. Also, Sheridan Road Magazine, who is showing
their support through their contribution of media coverage, in addition to,
Morgan Stanley.

To support this cause, tickets are $150 per person or groups can access whole tables of eight, ten or twelve at a reduced rate. Other opportunities to support include the Fund-a-Need Paddle Raise and a Cork Pull. Cocktail attire is encouraged and valet parking is complimentary.
This is an
ideal night out for couples and friends to come together and support an
organization that has made tremendous strides in raising awareness of
adolescent depression and reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness in our
northshore communities and beyond.
Don’t
miss this opportunity to celebrate with Erika’s Lighthouse and “Get Depression Out of the Dark”.
