Top Hat Ball Fundraising Event Breaks Records



Chicago, IL - Marklund’s 21st annual Top Hat Ball fundraising event, “The Gatsby Ball” on Feb. 14, broke all past fundraising records for the nonprofit organization by netting $646,700, officials announced in a news release.  The Top Hat event is the largest fundraiser of the year for Marklund, a nonprofit that serves children and adults with severe and profound developmental disabilities. Nearly 600 guests participated in the Roaring '20s-themed fundraiser, with one of the highlights being a dollar-for-dollar match offer – up to $100,000 – which was made by an anonymous donor during the live auction portion of the evening, the release stated.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
