The word "philanthropist" usually conjures up images of old, accomplished men and women who pay people to decide how to spend their money. But that's not always the case, as the Steppenwolf Auxiliary Council's annual Red or White Ball shows. Young professionals and budding donors gather each year to eat, drink, dance and raise money for Steppenwolf for Young Adults, the theater's arts education program.

For $125, you can join these young movers and shakers at Salvage One at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 9. You'll mingle, you'll bid in the silent auction, and who knows...you might even meet a potential benefactor to take home (that's a "sugar daddy," for you uncultured types). Buy tickets and learn more on the official website.
