Cocktails for a Cause

Friday, November 7th, 2025

Cocktails for a Cause (“CFC”) has been a standout event in the Chicago social scene for over 20 years. This evening of excitement and elegance marks the culmination of the Children's Research Fund Junior Board's annual fundraising campaign. This year, guests will enjoy live music, along with food and beverages from Lettuce Entertain You, one of Chicago's premier hospitality groups. The event will also feature a silent auction offering incredible items such as weekend getaways, exceptional dining experiences, sporting event tickets, jewelry, spa packages, and more. Additional highlights include a fun pop-a-shot basketball game, permanent bracelets, and a liquor pull. Proceeds from CFC will support Dr. Jami Josefson's research, which focuses on optimizing treatment for children with thyroid cancer through precision medicine, and exploring the impact of human milk composition on infant growth to prevent childhood obesity and related metabolic diseases.

Over 400 guests are expected to attend.

7:00 – 10:00 p.m.
