Curtis Newborn Photographic was given the opportunity to provide 5x7 photo prints of donors and Chicago Bears football players at the annual Cocktails for Brighter Futures event on June 11, 2013. This event supported Saturday Place, a Rashied Davis Charity.
The annual happy hour fundraiser takes place to honor students, Chicago Bears players, and donors. This year’s special guests included Laurence Holmes (Emcee for the evening), Johnny Knox, James “Big Cat” Williams, Rashied Davis, and a host of other past and present Chicago Bears and local celebrities.
What is Saturday Place?
Saturday Place is an enrichment program for 3rd and 4th grade Chicago Public School students who are performing at least one year below grade level. It's a once-a-week program comprised of activities quite different from the typical classroom. The program provides support in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science—and has been proven to help students gain confidence and raise their grades in their regular classrooms.
This event was located at Rockit Bar & Grill.
