The Association for Individual Development (AID) was host to a 60th Anniversary-“Shine Bright Like a Diamond” themed benefit auction Thursday, Sept. 30 at the scenic Fishermen’s Inn (43W901 Main Street Road, Elburn.
Unique and exciting items and vacations were available for bidding during the live and silent auctions with all proceeds benefitting 6,400 children and adults with developmental, behavioral and crisis needs receiving services through AID.
A touching video montage ended the event and gave attendees a firsthand look at how community generosity can make a positive impact in the lives of individuals with special needs.
