2026 Honoree Robert W. Crawford Jr.
As a longtime Lake Forest resident, Bob Crawford is dedicated to serving the Chicagoland community through active participation in local philanthropies. He is especially focused on supporting new generations, both in business—leading Bob to create the influential Neighborhood Entrepreneurship Lab—and children’s programming, through the Field Museum and Ravinia. Bob and his wife, Winnie, believe that education—especially music education—is a powerful foundation that uplifts communities, and they have been proud supporters of Ravinia’s Reach Teach Play for many years. Since joining Ravinia’s Board of Trustees, Bob has become a passionate member of the Executive Committee. We are so grateful for his tireless support of Ravinia and music education.
