Fundraiser

Hey Chicago! I am Liz Whelan and I'm working with Rainbows For All Children, the Chicago-based non-profit that focuses solely on helping children overcome the grief, fear and sadness that comes after a significant loss or tragedy. They are celebrating a milestone birthday and you are invited to help support their cause.

Hi Chicago! I'm Ashley Hogue, owner at Andreas Hogue Salon, and we have a really fun evening planned in honor of Earth Month!

Now that spring is finally here (well, at least officially on a calendar—no thanks 40-degree weather), we begin to see and hear about all of the races that are popping up on the Chicago radar. There are so many events that support amazing causes, but what if you haven’t been training for a 10k or what if running just isn’t really your thing and you still want to help out? Good news, you’re in luck! The 3rd Annual Hunt for A Cure is the perfect way to get out and about in the city while supporting the Alzheimer’s Association to raise money—without having to huff and puff your way alongside seasoned marathoners!

Attention all animal lovers! This is Cassy from Ripple Public Relations, and I wanted to spread the word about an amazing benefit coming up on Saturday, May 11th at John Barleycorn River North (149 W. Kinzie). Chicago-based non-profit organization, The Puppy Mill Project, is holding their annual benefit to honor the “Mothers in the Mills”, just in time for Mother’s Day.

I’ve learned that it's enough to indulge and be selfish but true gratification comes when you start giving back to your community. Hey Windy City! My name is Christine Chiu and I’m new to Billy Dec’s intern team! As you all know April is full of amazing events, much like the Start Early 5k-10k Walk/Run and the Chicago Improv Festival, but one in particular has reached out and grabbed my attention and I would love to share it with you all-- The Dream Gala 2013!

#Foodiechats is very excited to bring people together from all over the world for our 2-year celebration fundraiser. Our theme for the evening is "Food Trends." Our event will be taking place on Twitter of course and live in Chicago, at Rockit Bar and Grill. All ticket proceeds will benefit the amazing charity, No Kid Hungry.

Hi Chicago! My name is Megan, and I am a member of the Marillac St. Vincent Family Services Associate Board. I want to share an event we have coming up in a few weeks to raise money for a great cause—but first let me tell you a little bit about who Marillac St. Vincent Family Services is.

Hey Chicago! I’m Kendall Rozell, the newest addition to Billy Dec’s intern team at Rockit Ranch Productions. I have never been too keen on going for a run – the part that really excites me is listening to my favorite type of music, electronic dance. So when the new trend of the Rave Run started spreading around Chicago, I knew I had to join in!

My long time friend Billy Dec knows all about giving back. That's why I had no qualms about asking him for $30 bucks.... …so he can send a kid home with a bunch of books to read over summer break.

Hi Chicago! This is Sarah Vargo from Maven, creator of The Diva Series, Divo Series and author of the upcoming book, Life Is Your Party. Excited to stop by Billy’s blog and say hello!
