Sixth Annual Best Friend Award Night

Tuesday, April 25, 2006
Marche
833 W. Randolph
6:00-8:30PM

On April 25th, Kids In Danger will present our 2006 Best Friend Award to Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan for her efforts to keep Illinois children safe from dangerous children's products. The Attorney General's office has worked to strengthen and enforce the Illinois Children's Product Safety Act, as well as protect children from hazards such as lead in jewelry and lunch boxes.

KID's sixth annual Best Friend Award Night will be held this year at Marché Restaurant in the Randolph Street District from 6:00PM to 8:30PM on Tuesday, April 25. In addition to the award ceremony, the reception will include comments from Attorney General Madigan and others and our 2006 Best Friend Silent Auction and Raffle. Janet Davies, Host and Executive Producer of ABC Channel 7 Chicago's 190 North, will be the Emcee.

While raffle and auction prizes are still being solicited, we have dinners at local restaurants, hotel stays, gift certificates and tickets to Legoland in California! See below for a complete list. Raffle tickets are $5 each or 6 for $25.

Event tickets are $125 or become a Sponsor for $1,000 (10 tickets). Join us for this annual event to honor our Best Friend, Attorney General Madigan, celebrate the work of KID and remember Danny Keysar and all victims of unsafe children's products. We also encourage you to mark this sixth anniversary and honor Attorney General Madigan by placing an ad in our 2006 Program Book.
