Fundraiser
2010 Spirit Awards
May 12, 6:00 PM–9:00 PM
Chicago Cultural Center, Preston Bradley Hall, 78 East Washington Street, Chicago, Illinois 60602
Designs for Dignity Designs for Dignity believes that the built environment can have a transformative impact on the experience of those in need. Often, those who could benefit the most from good design have the least access to it. Our mission is to engage the design community and all of its resources to respond to this need.
In the spirit of this work, please join us in honoring the individuals and organizations who have helped us transform the lives of those in need this year. Along with awards, food, and cocktails, the evening will feature a silent auction to benefit Designs for Dignity.
