Boys and Girls Clubs of Chicago

BGCC Host Midwest Digital Arts Festival at Microsoft Center

The 2009 Midwest Regional Digital Arts Festival was hosted by Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago on April 30, 2009 and held at the Microsoft Center in downtown Chicago. This year's Digital Arts Festival theme was "The Nature of Design." Club members were asked to explore nature’s inherent beauty to find out what photographers, film makers, musicians and designers borrow from the natural world to create their art. The event was moderated by WTTW Chicago Tonight correspondent Christian Farr.

Charity Event at N9NE Steakhouse Benefit BGCC

On April 30, 2009, N9NE Steakhouse and Ghostbar Owners Michael Morton and Scott DeGraff celebrated their golden nine year anniversary with an all-out, private charity bash benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Chicago. Movers and shakers danced the night away with music spun by N9NE resident DJ Sheldon Knight. Guests got into the giving spirit by bringing new and gently used sports equipment to benefit the Boys and Girls Club. By the end of the night, the event successfully raised a van full of athletic equipment for the kids and $3,105 in cash donations.
