Board Games

On July 8, 2014, the drinks were flowing, the questions were challenging, and the prizes were scintillating.    

 The Auditorium Theatre’s Auxiliary Board completed one of its most entertaining and successful efforts in their short history—and the attendance and enthusiasm were commendable.  The board’s “Trivia Night by the Water” fundraising event featured ten rounds of challenging, witty, and unique questions and a litany of exciting prizes.  Held at the Diversey Yacht Club, the evening was not only a tremendous success…it also helped benefit one of the Auditorium Theatre’s most crucial programs.  

The Auditorium Theatre Auxiliary Board, a diverse group of young professionals committed to furthering the mission of the Auditorium Theatre, is devoted not only to helping fund the restoration and preservation of our National Historic Landmark, but also to raising awareness and generating support for the Auditorium’s educational outreach efforts and world-renowned programming.  All proceeds from the auxiliary board’s trivia night helped support “Hands Together, Heart to Art,” the Auditorium Theatre’s summer arts camp for children who have experienced the death of a parent.   

The hard work of all the board members and those who attended the wonderful event proved instrumental in bringing hope, comfort, and healing to hurting children from throughout the Chicago area. 

Although the trivia event proved a resounding success, it is yet another accomplishment in the year-long efforts of these dedicated professionals.  Everyone at the Auditorium Theatre is proud to have such talented and compassionate individuals as ambassadors of this cultural institution, and we look forward to witnessing future achievements of this committed group of philanthropists.
