More than 240 parents, faculty, and alumni were on hand during North Shore Country Day School’s annual fundraiser in April. The event featured a champagne toast to the $8 million renovation of the Auditorium and Arts Center, as well as performances by the student chorus, band, and theater group. After all the showcase of talent, guests moved on to dinner, music, and silent auction, as well as Arts Center tours. Co-chairs for the evening were Bette Anne Duffy of Northfield, Erica Conlon of Glencoe, and Gretchen Ake and Katie Freiburger, both of Winnetka. More than $80,000 was raised, going directly toward scholarships for students. nscds.org
