Throughout the year, Glenwood hosts a number of events to celebrate the season. During our fundraisers and friend-raisers, guests have the opportunity to meet our kids and network with a who’s who of the Chicagoland business community as well as local leaders and community members.
For more information about any event, please contact Jen Wolff, Director of Special Events & Corporate Sponsorship at jwolff@glenwoodacademy.org.
