One Inspired Evening: Art and Priceless Package Auction

Save the Date
20th Annual One Inspired Evening
Friday, March 2, 2012
Stephen M. Bailey Auditorium - Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Union Hall
1340 W. Washington Blvd. Chicago, IL 60607


This year's 20th annual One Inspired Evening, co-chaired by Pam Capitanini and Brian King and our Honorary Chair, Mayor Rahm Emanuel will feature our signature juried live and silent art auctions, including this bright and imaginative piece by artist Jake Watling! But this is just a taste of the whole piece - titled Enter/Exit - to see it in its entirety come to the event then make your bids because once you see it, you will want it for your own!

The evening will also include our suspenseful Priceless Package auction where winners will take home tickets to the theatre, music shows and hotel stays, among lots of other wonderful prizes. Our exciting Wine & Dine wheel will be back with our lovely 'Vannas' helping guests spin the wheel for fantastic wine and restaurant packages.

A fabulous cocktail buffet catered by our very own Inspiration Kitchens, a full bar with wines compliments of the Italian Village Restaurants, Matilda beer from Goose Island Beer Co., festive food from Burrito Beach and Wow Bao's hot asian buns will keep everyone thoroughly satisfied. Potbelly's will make sure you don't go home hungry with their delicious shakes and cookies. Auctioneer Vinnie Zaffarano plans on amping up the excitement and live music by the Sam Sinclair Trio will keep your toes tapping.

Of course, the evening wouldn't be possible without our generous sponsors, some of whom include: Sara Lee Foundation, Kenway Consulting, Windstream Business Communications and Evergreen Real Estate.

To purchase tickets ($100 in advance, $125 at the door) email Evan Cauble-Johnson or call at 773-878-0981 x 221. You can also purchase them online at Brown Paper Tickets.
