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 the festival
and its Reach*Teach*Play music education
programs.
Today, the Women’s Board is the largest
supporter of Ravinia’s Reach*Teach*Play
programs, which serve over 85,000 people
annually throughout the Chicago area. These
diverse programs have recently included the
creation and support of several elementary
school orchestras known collectively as
Sistema Ravinia, which now serves young
musicians in Chicago as well as eight
schools in Waukegan and Lake County
from Ravinia’s grounds. Reach*Teach*Play’s
programs also include Guest Artists in
the Classroom, training Chicago Public
School teachers to incorporate music into
their curricula, and a free community
music school. Supported by the work and
dedication of the Women’s Board, these
programs provide schools and communities
throughout Cook and Lake Counties with
access to music.
Students in the Lake County Sistema Ravinia orchestra
rehearsing at the festival in the Martin Theatre.
The student becomes the teacher as a Women’s
Board member gets some bow technique pointers
from a Sistema Ravinia orchestra member.
