Kids In Danger's 10th Anniversary and Best Friend Award Night
Friday, April 18 2008
Hugo's Frog Bar and Fish House 1024 N. Rush Street, Chicago
6:00-8:30PM
On April 18, Kids In Danger commemorated our tenth anniversary and presented our 2008 Best Friend Award to US Senator Richard Durbin for his tireless efforts to keep children safe.
Senator Durbin was unable to attend, but US Representative Jan Schakowsky spoke eloquently of his work on children's product safety this year in Senate as well as the work she and others have undertaken in the House. The evening ended with our 2008 Best Friend Auction and Raffle. Click here to view pictures.
Event tickets are $125 or become a Sponsor for $1,000 (10 tickets). Join us for this annual event to honor Senator Durbin, commemorate ten years of KID's mission, and remember Danny Keysar and all victims of unsafe children's products. Use this form to register for the event, buy raffle tickets or give a donation.
We also encourage you to mark this anniversary and salute our honoree by placing an ad in our 2008 Program Book.
