I’m going to settle on November 16th, 1945. Here’s something I found from The
Film Daily, November 12, 1946. It was from their Coming and Going section:
The Saturday was November 16th. Interesting that this article said Sinatra was
flying but the Tribune article you posted said he came in by train.
Thanks again for the help.

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.
