Summer Lovin' 2009

About Summer Lovin'

Must be 21 to purchase tickets. Must have proper ID to enter the event.

The money raised from Auxiliary Board events supports research and treatment programs at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The Auxiliary Board is currently serving a 2-year commitment to advancing the research and treatment of brain tumors.

The soiree will take place on Friday, June 19th, 2009 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., at the posh Museum of Contemporary Art, located just steps away from the Magnificent Mile and Water Tower Place. Over 1,000 guests will enjoy the museum's eclectic exhibits, chic interior, and beautiful outdoor terrace. Attendees will savor signature cocktails, beer, wine, and fabulous food from some of Chicago's finest restaurants. Musical entertainment, a silent auction, several "activity" stations and a raffle will keep guests entertained as they mix and mingle with other young, cosmopolitan Chicagoans. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute to advance the research and treatment of brain tumors.

Highlights of the evening will include…

• More than 15 Dining Stations from our generous sponsors including Fogo de Chao, Il Mulino, The Melting Pot and others.
• 7 Premium Bars serving delicious Diageo cocktails showcasing Ketel One, Crown Royal, Oronoco and NUVO as well as Goose Island Beer.
• World Famous celebrity DJ White Shadow
