Toasting for a Cause

The Naperville CARES  Toasting for a Cause, A Celebration of Wine and Food, was held on Monday, November 9, 2009. This year's event was graciously held again at Sullivan's Steakhouse in downtown Naperville.  Due to the generosity of 
Sullivan's and our wonderful guests, $14,000 was raised to support the programs of Naperville CARES.  Below is the menu that was enjoyed by our guests.    We hope to see you on Monday, November 8, 2010, at the 5th Annual Toasting for a Cause.
