What an incredible night at the BACC Annual Dinner and Scholarship Fundraiser.

The detective theme did not disappoint either, from classic sleuth looks to creative spy-inspired outfits, the evening was as fun as it was memorable.
Congratulations to all of our award winners. The Community Partner Award was presented to Barrington Area Volunteer Connection. The Business Excellence Award went to The Greggory. Innovator of the Year was awarded to the Catlow 1927 Foundation. The Young Entrepreneurs of the Year Award was presented to the Holdmate team at Barrington High School.
