Island Fantasy: Ancona's 2025 Gala!

 

Escape the winter blues and enter an Island Fantasy at Ancona's 2025 Gala! 


We are THRILLED to be honoring recipients of this year's Teaching Excellence and Spirit of Ancona Awards!


Wayne "Mr. B" Baldwin will receive this year's Teaching Excellence Award. Mr. B has been an integral part of the fabric of Ancona for many years. The music program as we know it at Ancona today wouldn't be the same without him. 

And, long-time Ancona supporters and current parents of two Ancona students Sibyl Day and John Ring, will be honored with this year's Spirit of Ancona Award. Since they arrived at Ancona, Sibyl and John have truly embodied the spirit of Ancona.

Join us! 

We'll trade parkas for palm trees and shovels for sun-kissed shores as we dance the night away and celebrate all things Ancona.


When: Saturday, March 29, 2025 from 6pm-10pm
Where: South Shore Cultural Center, 7059 S. South Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60649

 

 

The Gala is our biggest fundraising event of the year, and directly supports our commitment to robust tuition assistance-now and in the future. Tropical attire encouraged, and good vibes guaranteed!
