Smart Love Scholarship Benefit and 10th Anniversary Gala February 24, 2012

In honor of Smart Love Family Services 10th Anniversary, the organization presents its first annual Scholarship Benefit. The inaugural event will include a lively cocktail hour, exciting live and silent auction, dinner and an informative program. Sponsored by ETA Cuisenaire, the benefit takes place at the newly opened Greenhouse Loft, which is housed inside Chicago's Green Exchange, the country's largest sustainable business community. Guests of the benefit will enjoy the eco-friendly offerings of the Greenhouse Loft, including views of its organic sky garden.

All proceeds from the benefit will support the Martha Heineman Pieper, Ph.D. and William J. Pieper M.D. Scholarship Fund at Smart Love which serves children and families who meet eligibility requirements for financial aid. The Fund is dependent upon the charitable contributions from Smart Love families and supporters.

To RSVP to the benefit or make a donation to Smart Love’s Scholarship Fund, please call Carolyn Friedman at 773-665-8052 or email Carolyn.friedman@smartlovefamily.org
