Chaired by Janie and Chuck Walsh of Lake Forest, the 25th Annual Spirit of Saint Nicholas Ball hosted 1,300 guests at the Hilton Chicago during the holiday season, raising $1.2 million for children in need. The black tie evening toasted the fundraiser’s silver anniversary, and was hosted by Archbishop Blase J. Cupich and Monsignor Michael M. Boland. The money will go on to support Catholic Charities’ nine child development centers, after-school programs, counseling services, and teen parenting centers.
