The Women’s Leadership Committee (WLC) of Illinois Holocaust Museum welcomed 450 guests and raised $300,000 at this year’s End of Summer Soirée on September 6. The event featured cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, live entertainment from the Cover Girls, a raffle, and a silent auction. The Soirée took place at Rockwell on the River, a converted tannery-turned-event-space overlooking the North Branch of the Chicago River.
