Ravinia Festival | BMO Terrace | 201 Ravinia Park Road, Highland Park, IL
Registration to attend A Striking Event is now closed. For more information, contact Miles Robin at 224.585.8278.
Important Update
We’re looking forward to a fantastic evening tomorrow night! Due to an incredible response, we’re going to be moving our event to a different area inside of Ravinia. Instead, of the BMO Harris Terrace, we will now be having it at the Northern Trust Tent on the North Lawn. The sides of the tents will be open to allow for airflow and Covid safety. Also, we’ll have chairs and tables available outside of the tents. All in all, the new location provides a beautiful atmosphere for the evening!
Please note that you should still park in the West Lot as noted in the instructions that were sent with your tickets. JCFS Staff will direct you from the West Lot to the Northern Trust tent.
Important event information! Please read before arriving at Ravinia.

Julie Hamos
What's Possible Award
 |
We’re excited to honor Julie Hamos this year with the What’s Possible Award — given to an outstanding individual who has overcome adversity and made a significant impact on society. The daughter of Holocaust survivors, Julie and her family escaped from Hungary during the 1956 revolution with the help of HIAS. Motivated by this experience, Julie focused on government policymaking, helping underserved groups throughout her public service career. Julie was an Illinois State Representative before being appointed as the Director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. Today, she is a Senior Policy Advisor at the Office of Medicaid Innovation at the University of Illinois. |
