Copper Fox ~ 477 S. 3rd Street #190, Geneva, IL 60134 ~ 6-10PM ~ Cocktail Attire ~ 21+

Join us for an unforgettable night full of excitement and endless fun!

Enjoy fine dining, live music, and dance the night away at our 1st Annual Gala- The Blueprint Ball. Our organization has been devoted to serving the community and raising awareness for affordable housing for over 30 years. We are thrilled to share this accomplishment with you, as we push ahead to make a positive impact on people’s lives. 

Proceeds raised at the gala will be directed towards Habitat Green Freedom, a neighborhood of 17 net-zero homes. Women and children make up the majority of residents in Habitat neighborhoods, and they are disproportionately affected by poverty and substandard living conditions. By working together, women can address these challenges by building, investing, educating, and advocating for more affordable and decent housing.

  • 6:00: Indulge in delicious appetizers & cocktails
  • 7:00: Take your seats for dinner and a short program

  • 9:00: Discover if you’re a winner of our door prize & participate in silent auctions
  • 9:15: End the night on a high note by showing off your best dance moves!

We’ll have a night packed with amazing food, toe-tapping music, a dazzling fashion show, swag bags that will make you jump for joy, an incredible door prize, silent auctions, and a best dressed Barbie contest. Wear your best cocktail attire and unleash your inner Barbie fashionista and claim the title of the most stylish of them all! You’ll be able to capture the magic of the evening with our fun photo booth, so don’t miss out on this unforgettable evening of glitz and glamour with your handsome Ken or a group of your best girlfriends.
