The Ravinia Women’s Board, founded in

1962, has raised more than $30 million

for Ravinia over its storied history. Major

fundraisers include the annual summer

Gala, The Festival Shop and Wintrust

Chair Rental, the Tribute Fund, and the

Ravinia Cruise. Proceeds from these

fundraising efforts help support Ravinia

and its Reach*Teach*Play music education

programs, which serve 85,000 people

throughout the Chicago area. The board

is especially proud of the creation of the

Sistema Ravinia student orchestra program,

based on Venezuela’s acclaimed El Sistema

model, which fosters positive social

development through exceptional music

training.

This summer, on July 15, the Women’s

Board will host its first Sunday evening

gala, featuring Audra McDonald and the

Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by

Andy Einhorn. In addition to a spectacular

performance, the evening will highlight the

people and programs that make Ravinia so

special. The first gala was held in 1967 as a

thank-you to Ravinia supporters, and it is

now our most substantial fundraiser, having

provided more than $15 million dollars to

support the mission of the festival.

In spring 2019, the Women’s Board will host

another Ravinia Cruise, with approximately

100 Women’s Board members and Ravinia

Trustees and Life Trustees sailing rivers

in the south of France from Burgundy to

Provence aboard Uniworld’s SS
