Oh what a celebration! The wegg 10-year anniversary gala was a huge success – from the amazing turnout and fabulous gift bags (all donations by women business owners), to the curated playlist featuring women artists, to the video testimonials, to our awesome emcee Whitney Reynolds and the very hip Shirley Rebel cocktail (yes, that’s right).

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our generous sponsors who believe in us and our mission: APCO and JP Morgan Chase.

Special thanks to Bob Marovich, wegg COO, for collaborating so closely with our wegg Gala Committee members, including Loyola University Chicago Women in Business  (find them all here).

Shout out to the wegg team whose dedication and hard work make it possible for us to host more than 100 programs each year: Bob Marovich, Laura Fairman, Lucy Spooner, Lane Mahoney, Asra Khan, Grace Mahoney and Lilly Hicks. You guys truly rock!

To our wegg Board of Directors, thank you for your ongoing support.  And to all our sponsors, cohorts, partners, and individual supporters, we are deeply grateful – your generosity makes everything we do possible.

Be sure to check out the full photo gallery (courtesy of Lisa Miller Photography) – you’ll feel the energy, the excitement, and who we are.

We’re already planning to make this an annual tradition, so stay tuned for next year’s date – you won’t want to miss it.

Cheers!
