Vital Bridges fundraiser held at the Bridge

The organization Vital Bridges continues to help the Chicago community impacted by HIV/AIDS with food, housing and other assistance ever since their beginnings in 1988. On Nov. 10, the group threw a fundraiser at the fittingly titled Bridge Bar.

Guests enjoyed SVEDKA vodka cocktails while eating signature hors d’oeuvres and listening to a live DJ. Prizes were raffled off, with all proceeds given to Vital Bridges Center on Chronic Care.

Look for Vital Bridges’ Holiday Brunch at the Four Seasons Hotel, 120 E. Delaware St., on Sunday, Dec. 4, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. To donate or to get involved please visit www.vitalbridges.org.
