The 8th Annual EISENOPOLY

A lively crowd enjoyed fun and games at the eighth annual EISENOPOLY.

THE PARTY Revel Fulton Market was humming for the eighth annual EISENOPOLY, hosted by the Associate Board of the Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation. The Monopoly-themed night featured a life-sized jail, three lightning rounds of competitions and live music. The raffle had guests vying over extravagant prizes including a stay at the Waldorf Astoria Resort in Maui, exclusive Bulls and Cubs sports experiences and an in-home catered dinner from Hel’s Kitchen Catering.

THE PEOPLE The foundation’s executive director, Katie Wales, was among the 500-plus Chicagoans who gathered to support the foundation’s extraordinary mission, while event co-chairs Mikey Mintz and Julia Klairmont hosted the philanthropic event.

THE PINNACLE Attendees indulged in samples from Restaurant Row including Bar Lupo, Formento’s and Gene & Georgetti. A very popular Bubbles and Bling station allowed guests to purchase a glass of Champagne in hopes of winning diamond stud earrings from Shelly Becker Designs. The evening raised nearly $200,000 for gastrointestinal research at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern University. -Gabrielle Zepeda
