SUIT UP Raises Over $500 for One Hope United!
Friday, April 1st, 2011SUIT UP hosts raised over $500 for One Hope United last night! Thank you to the wonderful hosts and sponsors!
Maven, the connections agency behind many Chicago networking events teamed up with River North hotspot Bull & Bear to present SUIT UP. This monthly business networking event features industry leaders in finance, real estate, law, marketing, entertainment and more.
Industry leaders serve as event spheres and bring in new potential guest hosts and match them with other companies. So boys and girls – it’s time to put on your best suits and get down to business.
In addition to fostering wonderful business connections, the SUIT UP hosts and guests are collectively raising money for a featured charity of the month. Live to Support (LTS Chicago) selects the charities and serve as the official liaison between SUIT UP and the non-profit. LTS (Live to Support) Chicago was founded on the notion that young professionals are the key platform to raise awareness in honor of Chicago charities. It is their belief that through this solid network of young hopefuls, people can participate in active events which, in turn, help Chicago charities through donations and awareness. Currently Spring Leagues are OPEN so sign up TODAY to support charities when you play. Please refer to www.LiveToSupport.com for more information.
Bull & Bear hosts the monthly cocktail networking event held on the last Wednesday of each month (6pm-9pm). The first hour (6-7PM) will kick off with a VIP cocktail party sponsored by Absolut and passed appetizers. Drink specials will be offered through out the night. Guests will be able to enjoy complimentary services from select sponsors.
