ON WEDNESDAY, May 8, WTTW and WFMT held the organization’s annual gala; the year’s theme was Over the Moon: A Celebration of WTTW and WFMT. The evening was hosted by Geoffrey Baer (in a space suit!) in anticipation of the upcoming sixhour American Experience miniseries celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Chasing the Moon. The evening’s dedicated and hard-working event chairs Renée and Lester Crown devised a magical and unforgettable experience that celebrated this seminal event in American history for the 400-plus generous supporters who attended, along with some very special guests who were interviewed by Phil Ponce and Brandis Friedman – Apollo astronaut James Lovell (who attended with his wife Marilyn), and trailblazing NASA engineer Poppy Northcutt.
Lopez, Katherine Bourne, Meghan Murphy, and dancers Elliot Hammans (Hubbard Street Dance) and Anna Gerberich (Joffrey Ballet), accompanied by a seven-piece band. The program was choreographed by Rachel Rockwell with direction by Roberta Duchak. After the performance, guests dined in a large transparent tent with white accents. Jewell Events Catering provided the cuisine, with libations from Terlato Wines. The dinner commenced with remarks by Geoffrey Baer, WTTW Board of Trustees Chairman James W. Mabie, and President and CEO Sandra Cordova Micek. The guests departed with some special gifts, including treats from Swirlz Cupcakes. Thanks in part to the event’s lead sponsor BMO Harris Bank, trustee Peter McNitt, and Ray Whitacre, the celebration raised more than $1 million in support of the organization’s mission.
As they arrived, guests posed for photos in front of a stunning rendering of the moon, and then moved on to cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in WTTW’s strikingly decorated Grainger Studio. There, they enjoyed a program of popular music from the year of the moon landing, 1969, performed by Abby Mueller, Quentin Darrington, Yando
