Knight of Jewels dinner dance set for Feb. 26

On Saturday, Feb. 26, Immaculate Conception High School in Elmhurst will host its 41st annual Knight of Jewels Dinner Dance and Auction at River Forest Country Club in Elmhurst. The festivities honor the benefactors, faculty, and alumni of the high school as well as serving as the major fundraising event of the year.

The 2011 ICHS Distinguished Alumni recipients, James Bauernfeind (Class of 1956) and Patricia Cassidy (Class of 1980), will be honored at this year's gala.

Knight of Jewel attendees will also be treated to a Sneak Preview of the ICHS Knights Theatre Productions spring play, "Hairspray."

This year's live auction will feature a first-class Chicago sports experience, a five-night stay in a Colorado luxury home, and a once in a lifetime destination golf vacation on a private jet, in addition to other fun and fabulous items.

The silent auction will once again feature items for every taste - whether it is gift baskets full of popular items, tickets to see your favorite Chicago teams, fine jewelry, or an in-home wine tasting event…there is truly something for everybody!

If you cannot attend the Knight of Jewels, bidding for items online is a great way to participate! The online auction will be open for bidding and auction preview from Sunday, Feb. 20 through Thursday, Feb. 24.

A link to the Bidding for Good online auction will be available on the ICHS website at www.ichsknights.org.
