The sixth annual Heroes of Our Hearts gala, honoring The Dowd Wescott Group for their ongoing support of CRT's mission to improve the lives of special needs and at risk children took place in November 2010 at InterContinental Hotel O'Hare. This tremendously successful event was attended by over 300 supporters and guests. Camp SOAR counselors volunteered their time to assist in making the event run smoothly.
Our heartfelt thanks to all those made the evening possible by attending or donating items for the live and silent auctions as well as the event sponsors:
