Girls in the Game “Field of Dreams” Anniversary Gala at the Marriott

Lastweek we had the pleasure of providing a ShutterBooth for the Girls in the Game 15th Anniversary Gala. This year’s fund raising event was held at the Marriott Magnificent Mile and we were excited to be a sponsor for such a great organization!

Girls in the Game is a local nonprofit whose mission is to provide and promote sports & fitness opportunites, nutrion & health education, and leadership developement to enhance the overall health and well-being of girls. They have partnerships with the Chicago Park District and Chicago Public schools and they run programs at Union Park and various other parks and schools throughout Chicagoland.

Attendees of the event were treated to dinner & cocktails, photobooth photos, and a raffle and silent auction. After dinner they presented a program celebrating champions reflecting the four pillars of Girls in the Game’s mission: Sports, Health, Leadership, and Life. Sarah Reinersten was the guest honor for the event – she is an American athlete and motivational speaker. She was the first female leg amputee to complete the Ironman Traithlon World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. Check out her story – she is quite an inspiration!

Everyone had a blast in the ShutterBooth – be sure to check out the photos in the ShutterYou gallery.

**One of my favorite photos of the night (posted to the left) is a huge group of women from the Chicago Force! The Chicago Force is Chicago’s Professional Woman’s Football Team. They are quite a group – last year they made it to the playoffs and were the 2008 Eastern Conference Champions.
