Chicago Fund-Raisers Get Nostalgic (or Just Thrifty)
In Monday's "Taking Names" column, Crain's Chicago Business writer Shia Kapos remarked on an upsurge of "older musicians and pop culture nostalgia" at local charity events. To wit: The Beach Boys performed at last weekend's fund-raising gala for the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago, and blues musician Buddy Guy and former Styx band member Dennis DeYoung served as headline entertainment at last Wednesday's Northerly Island event for the Children's Memorial Hospital.

Reports from our own summer archives provide a case in point for this trend of "pop culture nostalgia." Take, for example, Macy's Glamorama fund-raiser, where Cyndi Lauper and MC Hammer provided live entertainment, or Bette Midler's performance at the opening of Horseshoe Casino. MORE >>

On Wednesday night, Children's Memorial Hospital invited 800 donors and community members to an event on Northerly Island. The evening—replete with multiple forms of live entertainment and a custom fireworks show—served as a launch for the hospital's new "Heroes for Life" campaign, which will raise funds for the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, slated to open in Streeterville in 2012.

"The main goal of the evening is to publicly announce our fund-raising campaign and the [$600 million] goal...which is one of the largest ever announced by a U.S. children's hospital," said Jennie Steffus, vice president of annual programs and events for the Children's Memorial Foundation. "We wanted the opportunity to create excitement and pride around Children's Memorial, as well as recognize and thank our key campaign donors." MORE >>
