In a couple of weeks, one of the most exciting events in Chicago is going to be held and for a great cause. The Junior Council will be hosting their 28th Annual Snowball, a black tie event hosting 2,000 young professionals for a night of dancing, drinking, eating and socializing while raising money for the Infectious Disease Clinic at the children's hospital. It's a great opportunity for networking, making new friends and supporting a cause that will give kids a chance at life when they may not have had one before. We promise this is a night you will NOT forget!

Calling all Chicago foodies!!! My name is Randell Golman, I am 28 years old and just recently moved back home to the best city (Chicago obviously) after four years in New York City where I was producing television shows for VH1. I am helping promote a very exciting night in Chicago devoted to finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, while enjoying bites from some of Chicago’s award winning restaurants and sipping on cocktails from the best mixologists in town.

Fasten your seatbelts for an exciting journey through Argentina without even leaving the comfort of Chicago! How is this possible, you ask?
