Kevin,
That’s an amazing find. Maybe when the photo said 11/15/45 they meant
11/15/46. However your article suggests it was November 16, 1946. I’ll keep
looking but you’ve certainly help narrow it down.

Here's a clipping I found from the Nov 17, 1946 edition of the Chicago Tribune.

I came across this article from October 19, 1947:
I tried to do some follow up to see when the first benefit dinner was in 1946.
I haven’t been able to nail down a date but I did find this photo and
information:
Frank Sinatra, Bobby Breen, Willie Shore, Irv Kupcinet and Phil Regan all take
part in entertaining the guests attending Dr Jerome D Solomon Memorial Research
Foundation dinner. The auction site that was selling the above photo said it
was an original press photo from 11/15/45. I haven’t been able to confirm that
date and the year under the photo says 1946. If anyone has more information
can they let me know.
