Cocktails for a Cause has been a standout event in the Chicago social scene for over 20 years. This exciting evening, which attracts over 400 young professionals, marks the culmination of the CRFJB’s annual fundraising campaign. This year, guests will enjoy live music, along with food and beverages from Chicago staples and 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.
Proceeds from CFC will support the CRFJB’s $250,000 commitment to fund research conducted by Dr. Alex Kula. This research lies at the intersection of kidney and heart disease, focusing on early detection and treatment of cardiovascular complications in young patients with kidney disease to improve and extend their lives.
Dr. Kula’s research is redefining the future of pediatric health.
