The event raised more than $775,000 for Hubbard Street’s artistic, community-focused, education and youth programming. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel attended to present Hubbard Street’s Spotlight Award to renowned performer Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Following the hosts’ remarks and a video produced by Emmy Award—winning HMS Media that featured Hubbard Street’s 18-member main company of dancers, attendees enjoyed a three-course dinne; Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Astrolabe wines; and an exclusive sneak preview of Hubbard Street’s collaboration in progress with The Second City that will premiere Oct. 16—19 at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance.
