Dear Friend, Over the last 100 years, through dedicated work

Dear Friend,
Over the last 100 years, through dedicated work, generous donations and a compassionate spirit,
Marillac St. Vincent Family Services has become a safe haven for those most in need. As we celebrate
our centennial, our Centers remain committed to strengthening and empowering those most in need
to reach their greatest potential.
Marillac St. Vincent Family Services would not be a safe haven for those most in need without our
generous donors and Fleur de Lis sponsors. Over the last 21 years, the Fleur de Lis Ball has become
our signature fundraising event, enabling our Centers to grow and thrive in ways that have made a
tremendous impact on the lives of the people we serve. Last year’s Fleur de Lis Ball raised over
$900,000!
Our continued success is only possible through the generosity of our supporters. We hope you might
consider joining us as a sponsor of the 2015 Fleur de Lis Ball!

Fleur de Lis Ball 2015
What is the Fleur de Lis Ball?
Over the past 21 years Fleur de Lis Ball guests have come out to support the life changing
services of Marillac St. Vincent Family Services (MSVFS), which has been transforming the
lives of children, the working poor, isolated seniors and others in need for nearly a century.
On Saturday, February 28, 2015 over 800 guests are expected to attend the black-tie event
at the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom to raise over half a million dollars on behalf of the
Marillac St. Vincent Family Services. Proceeds will benefit the programs and services
offered by St. Vincent de Paul Center and Marillac Social Center: senior services, family
services, outreach, early childhood development, school-age programs, Hope Junior and
Project Hope.
The evening will open with a cocktail reception and a silent auction, followed by a sit-down
dinner and live auction. The legendary band Gentleman of Leisure will also be on hand,
bringing guests to their feet and to the dance floor.
Who is honored at the event?
Every year, Marillac St. Vincent Family Services recognizes supporters who have made a
tremendous impact on the organization. The 2015 Fleur de Lis awards will be honoring
long-time friends and supporters, Brigid Mattingly and Wells Fargo Securities and Dr. Jack
Raba and Suzanne Muellman in recognition of their outstanding service to Chicago-area
children of working-poor families, isolated seniors and others in need.
