Every year, TriCity Family Services hosts a gorgeous gala as their premier fundraising event, providing community members a wonderful evening full of great food and opportunities to support a crucial cause.

This year’s theme is Let in the Brightness, an appropriate piece of advice when it comes to enriching your family life and the community.

“Our gala has been going on for 34 years at TriCity,” says Communications Manager Kelsey Boyer. “Let in the Brightness is all about celebrating the work of our counselors, the strength of our clients and looking forward to the future together with a renewed hope after what has kind of been a dark time over the past few years.”

TriCity is encouraging this year’s gala guests to wear bright cocktail attire.

“The brighter, the better,” says Boyer. “With the theme, the whole idea is to have these pops of color in kind of a dark-lit room.” Bursts of color will bring illumination to the Q Center where the gala is held.

Guests can also expect a delicious dinner and specialty cocktails. “It’s going to have a really positive vibe and we’re hoping to get some live music,” says Boyer. “Hopefully, we’ll

All proceeds from the gala will go to the organization’s services including counseling, family-based treatment for eating disorders and emotional wellness. “This is our biggest fundraiser throughout the year.” says Boyer.

Tickets will be available until the weekend of the event, taking place Saturday, September 9, and early bird tickets will be available for purchase until August 11. “We hope to get people excited about raising funds for these important services,” says Boyer.

“We should have a silent auction, raffle and live auction as well.”

As an organization, TriCity’s mission couldn’t be more necessary for the Kane County community. “I think that the mental health of families are the building blocks to a healthy community as a whole,” says Boyer.

“If we aren’t focusing on meeting that basic need for our kids and their families, they really can’t thrive in other areas of their life. If they’re spending all their energy and time just trying to get through the day, then they can’t [focus] on work or school or enjoying life.”

Presentation, Noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 13.
