Mahoney, prominent Tinley resident, Crisis Center Board member, and Senior Vice President of Founders Bank, who both received the Dianne Master’s Award at the event. Retiring Board member, Roberta Noonan, Ph.D., was also recognized for nearly 20 years of service. Andy Avalos, weather anchor for NBC5 Chicago, was the Master of Ceremonies for the gala. The evening featured silent and live auctions, cash raffle and dancing music by the Moraine Valley Jazz Ensemble. Over 30 high school students representing Carl Sandburg, Marion Catholic, Andrew and Lincoln Way East high schools volunteered for the auctions. The Crisis Center Board members and spouses: M/M Guy Larsen, M.M Ralph Politano, M/M Don Jeanes and Carol Zellen all attended.
