At the 2024 Spotlight on Avenues, the Joy of Avenues was on full display! The event was hosted on Septermber 28 by the Avenues Chicago Partnership Board at Fulton Social at the top of the 800 Fulton Market Building.

With the support of our generous donors, sponsors, and attendees, we raised over $55,000 to benefit Avenues program participants. We would also like to give a special thanks to Presenting Sponsor, Wilson Dow and Avenues Chicago Partnership Board Chair Ryan Jalowiecki, and to our Chicago Partnership Board members.

The evening featured delicious food by La Serre and stunning views of the city. Staying true to its roots as "Spotlight on Wine," the event included a Silent Auction and Wine Raffle. Guests had the opportunity to bid on artwork created by Avenues' clients, with some of the artists present to take pictures with their pieces. A portion of the proceeds of the art goes directly to the artists of the Creative Avenues program.

The evening was capped with a special moment when it was announced that long-time Avenues supporter Linda Buggy will receive the 2025 Jane & Albert Wohlers Visionary Award at our upcoming gala: A Night in Monte Carlo in February.  Linda has been a part of Avenues for more than two decades and recently ended her tenure as Chair of the Avenues Board of Directors this summer.
