Since 1961, AID employees, board members, family and friends have been dedicated to providing meaningful, customized programs and services to children and adults with intellectual, developmental and mental health challenges so they can live their best lives.

We’re excited to announce that the Annual AID Benefit Auction will be held on Thursday, September 30, 2021, at Fishermen’s Inn in Elburn, IL. After the long pandemic year full of virtual events, we are thrilled to be back in-person for our largest fundraiser just in time to celebrate our 60th Anniversary. This inspirational event is an intimate gathering for 250 guests and offers stunning raffle baskets, unique silent auction items and exciting live auction items. Fellowship, delicious food and drink, and countless opportunities to raise a paddle and contribute to programs that enrich the lives of so many make this event a must-attend every year! Our successes are a direct result of our sponsors’ generosity. Shedd Aquarium has previously donated a gift package and passes for this event. We hope that we can count on your support again this year!
