This page was part of the literature that distorted at the Children's Place Association's Summer Event, 'A Night With the Stars.'  Citizen was a donor to this event and I DJed the party.

Children's Place Association Past Events

By meeting the CPA in the summertime and donating, I was to book a winter event with them to fill the bar with people during our offseason.

To promote event, we sold hearts that we posted behind the bar for the month of February.  People could color on them and write their name.  This was a good way to raise funds for the CPA, promote the event, as well give an opportunity for those who couldn't make the event to donate/visit Citizen Bar.

To coincide with the Taste of River North Weekend, which is already huge at Citizen, we used the popularity of the street fest to drive people to Citizen for a charity event on Sunday morning.  

Every year since 2006 (dating back to my days at Gaslight), we have a had a Toys for Tots party that donated Toys to the kids of Oakton Elementary School.  My friend used to be a teacher there so that's how the relationship began.  She has since left but we've carried on the tradition.

Not only do we do this party at Citizen but at Bedford as well.

During my first year of management at Citizen (2009), I was introduced to people at the Sue Duncan Children's Center.  Every summer, we've held their 'Summer Soiree.'

Another fundraiser we did for the CPA in 2014

Since hosting their Summer Soiree, we added the March Madness game watch.
