Fans of economic progress attended Gear Up, Game On, a pre-season fundraiser for the Center for Economic Progress (CEP) on Sept 13, 2012. Presented by the CEP Associate Board & MB Financial Bank at Market Restaurant & Bar in Chicago, it was a lively evening that provided the opportunity for young professionals to network while championing financial security for low-income families.
Some who attended engaged in friendly competition by wearing either blue & orange or green & gold while they watched the Bears/Packers game. Sadly the home team didn’t win. However, raffle prize winners took away some great prizes: Home Run (Value: $360) Tim N; Olympic Spirit (Value: $282) Adam B; My Kind of Town (Value: $200) Hanna W; For the Enemy (Value: $600) Andrew H aka Go Pack!
The biggest winners were CEP clients. Thanks to MB Financial Bank generously sponsoring the evening, all ticket & raffle proceeds fund mission critical services including free financial coaching and tax preparation for low-income families. It’s a win-win for CEP clients and their communities.
Plus, there’s more good news! For the first time at an Associate Board event, new giving qualified for a 100% match from an anonymous CEP donor. Instead of the usual terrific $35 of economic impact in a community for every $1 invested, the match will yield an incredible $70!
