KidsMatter's Ignite the Nite a Smashing Success!

Over 60 High School Performers “Ignited The Nite” at Wentz Concert Hall last Thursday evening! The night include tap dancing, opera singing, a Robocop, pianists, pop singers, ensemble dancers and even a magician! Naperville’s American Idol Finalist, Gina Glocksen, wowed the crowd with her songs – joining with the entire crew of performers at the end of her last number. Mary Ann Bobosky and Marianne Boyajian were heralded for their integral role in igniting the foundation from which KidsMatter emerged in 2001. This joy-filled evening summed up what KidsMatter’s goal is – to Empower Kids to Realize Endless Possibilities!

Thank you to Deborah Newman and Elic Bramlett for their creative vision, talent, and commitment. We are also tremendously grateful to our sponsors: School of Performing Arts, Naperville Bank and Trust, and Linden Oaks for helping make this event possible.
