Limelight – Silent Auction
To celebrate 10 years of green building education, advocacy, and community building in Illinois, we are hosting our annual fundraiser, Limelight on May 10th. Replacing the Emerald Gala of years past, this year’s event will usher the 10th Anniversary of USGBC-Illinois into the spotlight with drinks, hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, raffle, dancing and the presentation of the Emerald Awards.
One key element of the evening, and one where YOU can help, is by purchasing Silent Auction items. We have an amazing list of items available this year, please view the brief descriptions below and have your credit card or check book ready!
