OUR PHILANTHROPIC CAUSE
All we ask is to please offer a LOVE DONATION ($1 min) at the door (General Admission) to donate back to our philanthropic mission on the day. We will be helping crowd fund for MAXINE THE HEART WARRIOR. Maxine is a little girl in Chicago who has a heart condition. She has Transposition of the Great Arteries, Pulmonary Stenosis, and a Ventricular Septal Defect. 100% of money at the door and a percentage of other event revenue will go directly back to Maxine and her family who will be there at the event on February 9th, 2018.
