Ray & Joan: The Man Who Made the McDonald’s Fortune and the Woman Who Gave It All Away
July 24 @ 10:30 am
Join author Lisa Napoli as she tells the incredible saga of Ray & Joan Kroc, who in 1974, endeared themselves to the city when they purchased the San Diego Padres, saving the team from a move to Washington D.C. You’ll hear about their complex lives together and Joan’s blossoming as a philanthropic force after Ray’s death. She donated hundreds of millions of dollars to causes including hospice care, AIDS research and more—causes her husband would have most certainly vetoed. Don’t miss this riveting presentation!
It's Feature Friday! 🎬⛸️
Looking back at Chuck and Donna Burke's apartment at Covenant Living of Northbrook where you could find a lifetime of speed skating memorabilia. Chuck competed in the 1952 and 1956 Winter Olympics (his USA team coat still fits!), while Donna was a North American champion in her own right. 🏅
Married 65 years and both former Chicago-area coaches, the two remain tied to the sport they love, still cheering on Team USA every time the Winter Olympics roll around.
A gold-medal love story, on and off the ice. 💙
