2023 Leadership Society Reception
Our reception, honoring Leadership-level donors from the 2022-2023 fiscal year, was hosted in July of 2023 at the B. Harley Bradley House in Kankakee. This was the first event of its kind in over five years, and we were grateful to put a face to the name for several friends we hadn't had the opportunity to meet in-person.
