FLAVORS OF CHICAGO - A REMARKABLE EVENING

On September 23 the Great Lakes Divsion provided an evening of fine dining and heartfelt recognition for over 220 guests on behalf of those who are affected by liver diseases. Through the generous support of our sponsors, guests and community we raised over $175,000. Mark DeCarlo, Windy City Live, interviewed chefs, guests, and helped us honor two of ALF's finest - Dan Weil, Community Honoree and Dr. Nancy Reau, Medical Honoree. He also introduced Tommy Reilly, our 3 year old liver Champion who celebrated his two-year transplant.

There's still time to show your appreciation for all of they have done for the liver community by visiting http://go.liverfoundation.org/site/TR/2013Flavors/Flavors?pg=entry&fr_id=3760 and making a donation. You can also call 312-377-9030 to show your support of our mission, or mail your check to ALF, 67 E. Madison, Suite 1614, Chicago, IL 60603.

Thank you for your continued support!
