Oak Brook Chapter presents Mistletoe Medley

The holiday season kicks off in grand style as the Oak Brook Chapter hosts its annual Mistletoe Medley fundraiser on Tuesday, December 2, at Drury Lane in Oakbrook Terrace. A beloved tradition for more than three decades, this spirited celebration raises significant support for the Oak Brook Chapter of the Auxiliary of the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago, which provides essential medical and social services to families in need.

Each year, more than 500 guests from across the western suburbs and beyond gather for an afternoon of raffles, boutique shopping, fashion, and festive entertainment. Returning as Master of Ceremonies is NBC 5’s Allison Rosati, a perennial favorite whose warmth and energy set the tone for the day. Guests will also be treated to a performance by the Salt Creek Ballet, whose dazzling numbers have earned rave reviews on the runway in recent years.

Themed “Let It Snow!”, this year’s event features a Preferred Raffle with 12 prizes, including a luxury stay at The Peninsula Chicago, fine jewelry, designer handbags, restaurant packages, and a $1,000 American Express gift card. The Grand Raffle Prize promises an unforgettable five-star golf and spa getaway in Kohler, Wisconsin, complete with accommodations, golf, dining, and world-class spa experiences.

Additionally, guests can browse the Holiday Boutique, featuring over 20 exhibitors showcasing unique gifts and seasonal finds. On the runway, Zzazz Productions will present the latest in city and suburban fashion, making this event as stylish as it is spirited.
