On Friday November 19, 2004, Girls on the Run--Chicago is proud to present its annual major fundraiser, benefitting the innovative and life-changing after school programs that teach 3rd through 5th grade girls about healthy living, builds self-esteem, and trains them to participate in a 5K event.

This year's Gala will be bigger and better than before! From 6 until 9 p.m., guests are invited to the Hotel Allegro, 171 W. Randolph, in the heart of Chicago's Theatre District, for cocktails, hors d'oeurvres, a fantastic silent auction, music performed by The Underwater People, and other surprises.

Tickets cost $55 in advance and $65 at the door -- a sell-out crowd is expected this year, so be sure to purchase your tickets early at www.gotrchicago.com or by calling 773-296-4519.
