CHICAGO – FEBRUARY 1, 2016 – GET YOUR POKER FACE ON! Spex, Chicago’s premier destination for distinctive eyewear and sun wear, joins with Little City Foundation Friday, March 11th, 2016, at 6:00pm to 12:30am, to present “Seeing Hope Together.” This is the fourth year of sponsorship for the exciting poker tournament and casino night fundraiser. THE MONTGOMERY CLUB, located at 500 W. Superior Street, Chicago, will visually delight guests who attend in support of children and adults with autism and developmental disabilities. Iconic fashion eyewear collections will be informally modeled and displayed in the ‘James Bond’-themed Spex lounge. GIBSONS BAR & STEAKHOUSE will provide a lavish, all-night buffet for guests to enjoy; a premium open bar and engaging raffle will all be part of the special ‘gaming for a cause’ event.
Little City has successfully changed lives, created hope and challenged the limits placed on children and adults with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities for over 55 years. Their comprehensive services and programs make them the preeminent organization of their kind in Illinois. Michael Caputo, Director of Marketing, expressed pride with the continuing partnership: “Spex remains energized and delighted to present the hottest Texas Hold ‘Em tournament and casino games event in Chicago; it’s fast becoming a ‘must attend’ spring fundraiser! We know our vital support of Little City’s mission has helped change lives. We’re definitely proud of our fourth year of association with an Illinois organization whose core advocacy – simply stated, sees hope. It’s very much a committed partnership – and that’s a winning hand.”
FULL HOUSE at The Montgomery Club!
“Little City is incredibly grateful for organizations like Spex,” commented Little City Executive Director Shawn E. Jeffers. “Without the contributions of good people and good companies, organizations like Little City could not thrive and provide a greater quality of life for people with disabilities, and people in need.” Spex promotes participation; for information, registration and sponsorship opportunities to support Little City’s noble cause visit littlecity.org/poker
