2011 Gala

Thank you for making the Uptown Live! Gala a success!

Thank you to everyone who participated in Wednesday's evening, October 26 event!

The sold out event had guests raving about the historic ambiance of the Bridgeview Bank Rotunda, the tour of the Uptown Theatre left many guests in awe, and the evening ended with delicious and authentic Asian cuisine at Uptown's restaurants.

Special thanks to Jerry Mickelson for his gracious hospitality for allowing guests to see the Uptown Theatre, to Alderman Cappleman and Alderman Osterman for joining in the evening's festivities, and to all of our sponsors and generous donors of the event!
