Holly Club of Joliet to Host ‘Party with a Purpose’

The evening also will feature a Wine Pull, where for $20 you choose a numbered cork and have a chance to win the corresponding bottle.
The Holly Club of Joliet, founded 134 years ago in 1989, has a long tradition of raising money for those needing extra assistance in the Will County community. Its very first fundraising event was a Holiday Ball held in 1892. That gala, organized by the mothers of the Holly Club’s teen founders, ushered in the fundraising tradition of a Holly Ball.
In 2022, for the first time ever, Holly Club pivoted from its formal Holiday Ball to a Friday evening event called Party with a Purpose. While more casual, this event has retained all the best features of the Holly Ball – fellowship that includes a sit-down dinner, music, dancing, and a chance to give back.
Tickets can be purchased online by visiting the Club’s website at www.hollyclubjoliet.org, or the Club’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/hollyclubofjoliet.
