Let the Good Times ROW Returns!
After two consecutive years of having to cancel one of our team’s best-loved events, the annual gala came back with a bang to celebrate Recovery on Water’s 15th anniversary and honor its co-founders. Relive the beautiful night in this photo gallery recap!
On Friday, September 30, gathering in Chicago’s West Town Brewery District, Recovery on Water hosted its first live Let the Good Times ROW gala since November 2019. The organization hosted more than 200 guests at the Bridge 410 loft for an evening of celebration, reflection, and unexpectedly epic dancing. During the event’s keynote presentation, ROW’s two co-founders—Jenn Gibbons and Sue Ann Glaser—were both honored as recipients of the 2022 Spirit of ROW award, and together they helped paint a picture of all the team had accomplished in its now-15-year history.
Helping to make the evening possible were several corporate and individual sponsors, including Freixenet Cava, Louis Glunz Beer Inc., Maximum Independent Brokerage, Albatross Wine Co., Dr. Samman Shahpar, Sue Ann Glaser and Allan Alson, and the McNally Neuenschwander family. As they enjoyed endless hors d'oeuvres and libations, event attendees also demonstrated their great generosity by pledging more than $25,000 during the cornerstone paddle raise. It was an incredible way to bring back ROW’s biggest night of the year and revel in both all that has been achieved and all that has become possible.
