The Chick Ball is organized by young staffers and interns of the JFP, led by Natalie Collier and Renee Reedy. Proceeds will benefit the Center for Violence Prevention.
The JFP urges other media to help promote this event, which serves not only as a way to help out with a desperately needy cause—but is a way to draw in young volunteers and participants who are just moving into philanthropy and volunteering.

I'll try to drop by. What time is Phil Collins and Genesis? Good luck though even if the old man is too old to hang with the young folks. I'm a big music lover though.

Still recovering from N'Awlins but will be there in full chick gear! It's a great cause and a perfect excuse to go out on a Thursday night. Make sure you check out the Mary Quinn pix from the coast. Got a preview today and I'd buy them even if she wasn't my friend! Can't wait to see y'all.
