Set Sail for a Cause at the Cruise to Independence
2026-03-12 08:00 - 17:00
On Thursday, April 30, community members are invited to enjoy an evening of music, connection, and purpose at the Cruise to Independence, a fundraising event benefiting BEDS Plus and its work supporting survivors of family violence.
The event is organized by Mike McNamara, a local mortgage loan officer with Origin Point and a member of the La Grange Business Association. McNamara’s involvement is deeply personal. On the event page, he shares that his sister is a survivor of domestic violence—an experience that inspired him to help raise awareness and support for organizations working with individuals and families navigating similar challenges. Through this event, he hopes to help ensure that survivors have access to the housing and supportive services they need to rebuild and move toward independence.
The Cruise to Independence brings that mission together with a fun and welcoming atmosphere. The evening will feature a yacht-rock themed celebration inspired by Route 66, with live music from Anchor’s Away, a custom signature drink, door prizes, a photo booth, split-the-pot opportunities, and live auctions. Guests will gather at the Stadium Club at the Max in McCook for an event that blends entertainment with an important cause.
