Have Mercy! returned to Theater on the Lake for the third year in a row in 2024!
We had such a wonderful time at the Associate Board of Mercy Home for Boys & Girls’ 16th annual fundraising gala, Have Mercy!, on Friday, May 10, 2024.
Have Mercy! brings together leading young professionals for a night of dancing and entertainment. The event features live music, hors-d’oeuvres, drinks and dancing, an exciting auction, and raffle items – all in the beautiful setting of Theater on the Lake.
With ABC 7’s Greg Dutra serving as emcee this past year, guests at Have Mercy! had a great time knowing they made a difference in the lives of Mercy Home’s kids. With the breathtaking views at Theater on the Lake, Have Mercy! was the perfect way to kick off the summer!
This event is open to guests 21 years of age or older.
Last year, we had incredible auction packages, such as…
- Premium seats to Chicago’s Air & Water Show at Theater on the Lake, including food and beverages
- One-night deluxe room stay at the Langham
- Genesis Grill from Weber
- Dyson Haircare products
- Tickets to home games for the White Sox, Cubs, Bears, Cardinals, and more
