Even if you are not living vicariously through your child's involvement in a sport that you once played, this is a great time of year for sports fans of any type. The NFL is in full swing (go Bears), MLB's World Series teams are lined up (go Royals), the Icehogs have begun their season, the NHL is just starting, the NBA season begins later this month, not to mention college and high school football. Funny how the high school teams seem to provide the fiercest of pride in fans around here.

What if I told you that you could help the battle against cancer and get tickets to see the Icehogs? Or WWE Live? Or tickets to see Chicago's professional hockey and basketball teams (use your imagination)? Even tickets to see John Mellencamp at the Coronado?

Get your tickets to the Pink Party in advance and save a few bucks. This party with a purpose is coming up on Friday, October 24 at Prosser's Chop House.
