Established in 1962, the Women's Board has a strong tradition of promoting the Festival and developing appreciation and understanding of music and the arts throughout Chicagoland – and, quite possibly, the world. Our broad based mission includes fundraising and volunteer support of Ravinia's REACH*TEACH*PLAY programs. Since 1972, Ravinia Gifts has been operated by Women's Board volunteers and has sold a variety of merchandise, including our two best-selling cookbooks, Noteworthy and Noteworthy II, and Ribbee Dibbee Doo, our fun-filled music story and activity book.

This year, this extraordinary group of ladies is thrilled to celebrate their 50th Anniversary! This 2012 summer is bound to be a joyous season with fantastic performances and events to celebrate the ladies who have helped Ravinia continue its commitment to bringing music education and performances to our community.

If you wish to make a gift in honor, in celebration, or in memory of a loved one, please contact Marie Roth at 847-266-5045 to make your gift to the Tribute Fund.
