What a fabulous evening as parents of students from Sacred Heart Schools Chicago, alums, friends and RSCJ gathered together for L'Esprit de Sacre Coeur 2012 - the most important fundraising event of the year hosted once again at the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago.
This annual benefit is sponsored by Parents of the Heart, Sacred Heart's parent organization. The evening includes both a live and silent auction, a scrumptious dinner and dancing.
Sr. Donna Collins, RSCJ and former Principal from 1996-2003 at Josephinum Academy gave the blessing before dinner. SRAA Board Officers on hand this evening were: President, Kwaben Komai, A'83 and President Elect, Joey Yao, H'86
The best part of the evening is the presentation of the Schools' prestigious Goal Award.
Goal 2: a deep respect for intellectual values
This year's recipient was Josephine Lee, President and Artistic Director of the Chicago Children's Choir.

All proceeds directly benefit the unrestricted annual operating needs of the Academy and Hardey Prep. Kudos go out to the many organizers who made the evening possible especially the CO-CHAIRS: Andrea Garber, Mary Beth Hopp and Colleen Mygatt.
Nat Wilburn, Head of Schools since 2009 was delighted that Gerald J. Grossman, Head at Woodlands Academy and Michael Dougherty, President of Josephinum Academy (the newest member of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools) were able to attend the L'Esprit benefit. All three men trace their Sacred Heart connection to California where they worked with each other at our Sacred Heart School in San Francisco.
A truly special evening! And, believe it or not next week the Parents of the Heart will start planning for next year!
