In early November, the DuPage Foundation celebrated its Annual Benefit: Through the Looking Glass at The Westin Chicago Lombard, welcoming over 425 guests. The event raised nearly $700,000, with additional contributions expected.

These funds are vital to supporting the Foundation’s efforts in addressing community challenges and opportunities while aiding donors and businesses in achieving impactful philanthropy locally and beyond.

“We are deeply grateful for the amazing generosity displayed by our friends and partners,” said Mike Sitrick, DuPage Foundation President & CEO. “It highlights both their trust in our work and the commitment so many in our community share toward investing in local philanthropy.”
