Mingle with Chicago’s Finest & Dine on Delicious Food & Drink at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Chicago Magazine’s Summer Lovin’!

A defensive tackle, a pro soccer player, and a scientist walk into the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago…there’s no punch line, it just gives you a taste of the lucky people selected as Chicago magazine’s Most Eligible Singles! Meet them on Friday, June 21, from 7 – 10:30 pm at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago when The Auxiliary Board of Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Chicago magazine present Summer Lovin’, the single best event of the summer!

Emceed by Hell’s Kitchen alum Brian Merel and ABC News correspondent Alex Perez, Summer Lovin’ is attended by more than 1,000 young professionals and is an evening filled with delicious food, cocktails, and outstanding entertainment, as well as access to the MCA’s eclectic exhibits.

Unlike some charity events where food is an afterthought, you’ll get your fill at Summer Lovin’! With restaurants like Black Dog Gelato, Chicago Q, Copper Rock Steakhouse, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, Magnolia Bakery, M Burger, Mercadito, Mercat a la Planxa, Nacional 27, New England Seafood Company Fish Market, RPM Italian, Taco Joint, The Palm Restaurant, Wolfgang Puck Catering, Zocalo, you are GUARANTEED to find something delicious.

If you’re a cocktail drinker, you can sip on concoctions from Don Julio, Bulleit Bourbon, Johnnie Walker, Ketel One, Tanqueray, or Zacapa Rum. Beer drinkers, they didn’t forget about you! Choose from Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, or Leffe at one of the nine bars (in other words, you’ll never wait long for a drink!) or try Stella’s Cidre, a Belgium recipe cider made from handpicked apples. DJ Sasha Savic will spin with visits from rock violinist Katarina Visnevska.

Tickets are $95 and all proceeds from the event will support innovative bone marrow transplant research to improve cancer care at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. See you there! – Laura Lewandowski
