About 1800 of Chicago’s young, fun and philanthropic braved the slush and polar vortex Saturday night (2/8) to help raise money #fortheKids. The 26th annual 2014 Snowball presented by the Junior Council benefiting the Pediatric and Adolescent HIV/AIDS Programs at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. A VIP section that was sold out and record number of sponsors and donors, it was a packed Union Station.

Billed as Chicago premiere black tie event for the city’s young professional set, it was also probably one of the largest young professionals galas we’ve covered. With multiple bar stations set up across Union Station’s great hall and food stations from restaurants such as 25Degree where the burgers moved fast, RA Sushi, Qdoba, Sataza had samosas, cafe ba ba reeba to name a few.

Some of the guests recognized in attendace included: Trunk Club CEO Brian Spaly, Scene PR President Suzanne Nolan, Tara Flocco, Claudine Tambuatco, Catherine Ketter, Jessica Caballero, StreetStyleChi’s Alex Moresco and many many more.
With mixed drinks that consisted of Buffalo trace whisky, Absolut vodka and 312, guests hit the dancefloor to DJ De La Chappelle and the band Rod Tuffcurls and the Benchpress
The guests that were still up for more fun were invited to the afterparty at Cuvee but our 4+” shoes were begging for reprieve so called it a night.
Ed Note: Ladies when you attend a black tie or event that requires you to dress up, please make sure you were comfortable shoes. There is nothing more disgusting than seeing a well dressed lady walking barefeet across a room, that show terrible manners. Not everyone can walk, dance, saunter in high heeled shoes. It’s not for everyone and if you think, “damn my feet might hurt in these” leave them at home!
