Bravo Waukegan Benefit Connects Communities and Students Through Music
Bravo Waukegan, a Lake Forest-based nonprofit organization supporting music education in the Waukegan public schools, held its annual benefit May 19 at the Onwentsia Club in Lake Forest.
Themed "Music Connects Us to the World," the event featured jazz and mariachi music performed by Waukegan students and showcased how Bravo helps connect Waukegan to the Lake Forest community and beyond by offering music opportunities to students. Guests also listened to inspiring stories from students, families and teachers.
The benefit raised more than $75,000, which will go toward scholarships for summer music camp, instruments, music instruction programs and more.
