WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE Swing In For Fun & Games

Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club invites you to their annual benefit on February 27, 2010. Welcome To The Jungle will feature an exciting night of casino games, exotic food stations, open bar, silent and live auctions, raffles and dancing all night long and all for an important cause, Almost Home Kids. 

This year attendees can Swing on in for the fun at the Burr Ridge Marriott on Saturday February 27th from 7 p.m. to Midnight. Guests will be enjoying music by Mixit Entertainment, a variety of casino games including blackjack, Texas Hold’em and Craps, an array of auction items including a trip to St. Lucia where you will stay at a private home with all the amenities, design your own piece of jewelry beginning with a cut aquamarine or be a honorary White Sox bat boy or girl for a day including 4 tickets to the April 7th game.

"It should be a really fun evening, with the opportunity to win really great auction and raffle items, states 2010 Benefit Co Chairperson, Polly Ascher. “All this is for a great cause, Almost Home Kids".

"The members of the Hinsdale Junior Woman's Club are truly honored and excited to be working with Almost Home Kids. We hope that our Casino Night event is fun for all, but most importantly, we hope it raises awareness and additional funds for the children who are medically fragile and for the families who really need Almost Home Kids. These kids are our inspiration to make this special night a success.” said Sarah Opler, 2010 Benefit Co Chairperson.

All proceeds from this benefit will go to Almost Home Kids, located in Naperville, which is a not-for-profit children's care center. Founded by parents of medically fragile children; this 10-bed facility is housed in a 4,000 square foot home set on 2 1/2 acres of land. It is the first of its kind in the nation and the only one in Illinois. It is recognized as a multidisciplinary model of excellence for the short-term clinical care of children who are medically fragile and who may also be technology-dependent. Children in the Respite Care program can be here for up to two weeks a year, and the 120-day Transitional Program serves as a bridge between hospital and home.
