Join us for our Annual Red Tie Gala as we put the “FUN” back in Fundraising! Why a red tie? Christopher was very proud of being a ginger and many knew him because of his red hair. It is our way to remember him during this event – Honoring his Legacy and Supporting the Arts.

Red Tie Gala Murder Mystery (A Deadly Vintage)
Join us for a night at one of the most Exclusive Valley Events at the Annual Vintage Party! Will the Murderer be a vivacious Vitner who was prepared to deal the defeat? The Vineyard owner seeking revenge for their sour grapes? Or possible, the bubbly champagne producer whose outgoing personality is covering for something? It will be up to you to decant this crime before the culprit can claim another vineyard victim.
Each attendee must register with a unique email address and complete all required information as this year’s event features a Murder Mystery.



This yearly event, held every March, is our major fundraiser. It is a semi-formal, exclusive night held at different locations and always includes amazing music, food, and auction items. Past locations include the Club Arcada Speakeasy, Acquaviva Winery, Cantigny Park, and Shannon Hall in Batavia.



The proceeds from this event go towards funding our yearly Performing Arts Awards. Currently, we offer these awards at 4 area high schools. Each is a $1000 cash award given to a graduating senior participating in the Performing Arts at their high school. For more information about these awards and how to apply visit our Awards Page.



We look forward to you joining us at our next Red Tie Gala and appreciate your support of our mission as we continue Chris’ legacy. See you next March!
