YouthBuild Lake County held its 2nd annual fundraising event, The Spring Benefit: An Evening of Theatre on May 5, 2007. The event was astounding success for us as we raised over $48,000!

Over 145 people attended the event, which was held at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. The evening included a cocktail reception and silent auction and was followed by the performance of Forbidden Broadway: SVU.
