Illinois Bar Foundation Gala set for Friday, October 17

October 17 is a long way off, but the Illinois Bar Foundation is already asking you to save the date for its 26th Annual Gala, honoring Mt. Vernon attorney Mark D. Hassakis of Hassakis & Hassakis P.C.

The Gala will be held at Chicago's Four Seasons Hotel, 120 E. Delaware, starting at 6:00 p.m. The Gala is one of the pricier events on the social calendar, with individual tickets going for $500 each (judges and employees of non-profits can buy discounted tickets for $400 each). VIP tickets are available for $1,000 each -- and there are sponsorship opportunities aplenty, up to and including a non-exclusive $50,000 Gala Cornerstone Sponsorship. Tickets and sponsorships may be obtained from this link.

The Gala's honoree, Mark D. Hassakis, is a Past President and longtime booster of both the Illinois State Bar Association and the Illinois Bar Foundation. Sponsors assert that Hassakis may well hold the record for bringing the greatest number of new leaders into the IBF family. Keeping with that theme, sponsors say that this year’s Gala will celebrate the history of the IBF as well as the spirit of connection and friendship that brings the IBF community together each year.
