Many thanks to the event co-chairs who worked so hard to make the evening happen: Women’s Board President and Trustee Joan Clifford, Women’s Board members Mary Ann Clement and Stacy Devine and Board of Trustees Chair Jaime Viteri. The lively and entertaining combination of auctioneers Trustee Leslie Hindman and Life Trustee Peter C.B. Bynoe kept the energy up and the prizes moving. Special thanks to Event Sponsor and Exclusive Airline of Goodman Theatre American Airlines, Sponsor Partner Leslie Hindman Auctioneers and Supporting Sponsors Citi Private Bank and Joan and Robert Clifford.
