The Ray Graham Association’s 34th annual Butterfly Ball will be held Saturday, Sept. 27, at Bobak’s Signature Events, 6440 Double Eagle Drive, Woodridge. This fundraising gala will benefit programs and services for individuals with disabilities. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and dinner will be served at 8 p.m.

The night also includes a silent auction, raffle, live entertainment, hors d’ oeuvres and cocktails featuring a new “Martini Luge” ice sculpture that pours and pours. Whata Bout Bob — a group of talented musicians that draws from an expanse of influences ranging from rock, classical, jazz and blues to funk, punk and dance — will perform live.

Last year, the event raised about $79,000 to help support more than 2,500 children and adults throughout the western suburbs.
