6:00 p.m. Cocktails | 7:00 p.m. Dinner
Chateau Ritz, Niles

This year’s Extravaganza will be an award-worthy celebration of Embers’ 30-year anniversary as we continue to support the pursuit of academic excellence and character formation. This annual fundraising dinner raises funds which are vital to ensuring we can support our teachers and upgrade our school curriculum and facilities. We hope you will join us for Embers’ Extravaganza 2026: Lights, Camera, Embers! 

Guests at the Extravaganza will enjoy:
– A full open bar and featured cocktail
– Passed hors d’oeuvres and 4-course dinner
– Video entertainment from our very own Spark students
– Musical entertainment by the Northridge Jazz Combo to dance the night away

Our Best Supporting Role? You!
 

We’re looking for volunteers to assist on Extravaganza night. The Event Experience Team is at the center of the action, helping with set-up, registration, raffle baskets, and other key moments that bring the event to life. This is a great volunteer opportunity to do with friends! 

No Auditions Required:
Everyone Can Be a Star!

Unable to attend? We are sorry to hear that; you will be missed! There are still many ways you can participate in our annual Extravaganza: 

• Register on the Extravaganza website to purchase basket raffle tickets, sign up for the Spark Party, sponsor a faculty member’s ticket, or make a donation.
• Donate an item to be used as a prize at the event! Our guests love to win: restaurant gift cards, wine bottles, sports tickets, museum passes, rounds of golf, and more. Any donation is greatly appreciated and can be easily dropped off at the front office.
• Purchase advertising for your business in our Extravaganza program. Do you or someone you know own a business? The program is a great opportunity to reach families from over 30 Chicagoland zip codes. More information can be found HERE.

Together, We’re Creating an Award-Winning School
