SpartyBall Logo
 
In fewer than six weeks, Spartans will gather in Chicago for one of the largest Spartan gatherings in the nation: SpartyBall in the Windy City.
 
Each year, SpartyBall brings together alumni and friends from across the country for an evening of philanthropy and fun. Proceeds from the event help build scholarship funds to help us to attract and recruit the brightest and best students in Illinois. Our goal is to make sure they become Spartans: future leaders, live savers and world changers. 
 
The event celebrates our shared Spartan heritage; and like any good celebration, will have fantastic food, a hosted bar, music and dance, and a silent auction. 
 
Buy your tickets before January 26, 2012 and be entered to win a free night's stay at the official hotel of SpartyBall 2012, the Hotel Palomar at Illinois and State - a short walk from the River East Art Center and SpartyBall! 
 
I hope you'll join us. For more details, visit www.spartyball.com.
