Walk the Beach for Syd Rocks! July 26, 2013 Hey it’s Syd! It’s so cool that I get to write about Syd Rocks and our upcoming awesome beach event. I was lucky enough to meet Billy Dec when I was 12 years old. He was hosting a charity event for Make A Wish and I was there since I was a “wish” child. This means that I had a life threatening illness and Make a Wish granted me a wish to help me get through the tough medical things I was going through at the time. I will never forget how much Make A Wish did for me and how much I appreciate Billy’s generosity and support for that organization.

6th Annual Pinot Days Chicago Grand Festival March 25, 2013 I don’t know about you, but I love me some vino, but don’t love how expensive it is to get over to that west coast. Let’s just imagine an ideal situation that involved, oh let’s say, about 65 wineries flying into Chicago and letting this Windy City taste what that entire coast has to offer! Ding, Ding, Ding… our wish has been granted!
Take a Plunge Into Lake Michigan This January! January 25, 2012 Mark your calendars and check the temperature for the upcoming 11th annual Lakeview Polar Plunge!

Participants should arrive at the beach by 11am because at Noon you will be running towards the water for you’re plunge!
