congrats to ike & ella!!

1st annual young supporters event in 2025!

Beth’s children, Ike and Ella Nierman, held their first annual Young Supporter’s event on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

Over 60 of their close friends came out to George Street Pub in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood on a crisp fall afternoon to watch college football, eat, drink and raise funds to support the ELJ Foundation.

Ike & Ella continued our tradition with the raffle auction. With the combination of donations at the door and the auction, they raised over $2,000 in just a few hours!

We are so proud of both of them and are grateful for the kindness and generosity of all their friends! They both agreed they want to plan to do this again next year. Hope you can join them!!
