The event, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m., will showcase the many talents and triumphs of the children and adults with disabilities, who participate in NWSRA programs. Guests will enjoy live entertainment, raffles, a silent and live auction, dinner and dancing. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling (847) 392-2848.
