Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park Benefit
Please come celebrate Ernest Hemingway's 100th anniversary of his graduation from OPRFHS. We will be announcing our OPRFHS Hemingway scholarship winner. The evening will feature performances by the OPRFHS Jazz Ensemble and the Julian Spoken Word Club, delicious food from Winberie's, cocktails by Papa’s Pilar, wine, Lagunitas beer, and a fabulous silent auction. Guests will have the opportunity to take a picture alongside Ernest’s yearbook photo and write a Hemingway inspired six-word short story on a vintage typewriter. We will also introduce our second annual publication of “Hemingway Shorts” — a collection of short stories submitted by emerging writers, as well as the publication of the top three student essays.
In addition to proceeds benefiting the Foundation’s current programming and birth home maintenance, we will introduce the winner of the second annual EHFOP Scholarship Fund. It will be awarded to an incoming senior at Oak Park River Forest High School and will include a mentorship with our 2017-2019 Writer-in-Residence. Ten percent of the benefit’s proceeds are allocated to this fund.
Tickets purchased for the event include a one year membership to the Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park. This event is also the Foundation's annual meeting.
Cocktail attire is suggested.
