The Eighth Annual Barristers Big Band Benefit Ball honors Alderman Edward M. Burke (of the 14th Ward) and Justice Anne M. Burke (of the Illinois Supreme Court) on Saturday, March 14, at the Hilton Chicago, at 720 South Michigan Avenue. A big band will be on hand accompanied by a dance contest. Dance instruction will be provided by Quinton MacAdam of the Arthur Murray Dance Center.
All ball proceeds benefit Children’s Memorial Hospital and the Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth Program. Founded in 1882, Children’s Memorial Hospital is recognized as one of the top pediatric hospitals in the country. Its physicians are on faculty at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. The not-for-profit organization, Children’s Memorial relies on philanthropy to help provide care to more than 113,000 patients and their families every year.
Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth supports one-on-one, long-term tutor-mentor relationships by awarding grants, recruiting volunteers, and promoting best practices. Since its founding in 1995 by then CBA president Tom Demetrio, Lawyers Lend-A-Hand has positively affected the lives of tens of thousands of youth throughout the Chicagoland area through its grants and recruitment of lawyers to serve as volunteer mentors or board members.
