CHICAGO, IL

foudy1 Hear the inspirational message of National Soccer Hall of Fame player, Julie Foudy, midfielder, co-captain with Mia Hamm, and then captain for the US Women’s National Soccer team, winning two World Cups and two Olympic gold medals. Their “Dare to Dream” athletic journey marked the golden era of women’s soccer and changed the face of women’s sports. ESPN’s color commentator for the 2012 Olympics, Julie is a prominent voice promoting the strong spirited leadership that comes through athletic teamwork.

Make plans now to join us in Chicago to be part of the 550 person audience at Joseph Sears School Auditorium, 4:30pm, February 23, 2013 in Kenilworth, Illinois at only $25 per ticket. We’ll have a virtual tour of Ogichi’s new campus facilities and opportunities to launch into leadership through our summer camp program. Your ticket doubles as your raffle chance (this speaker event only) to win $1,000 towards a 2013 summer tuition at Ogichi. Our event sponsor, MyChelle, the leading all natural skin care line, will have an esthetician in the lobby from 3:15 to 4:30 to guide you to the best products for your skin type. Lake Forest’s Sarah Spain, ESPN W columnist and Sports Center Anchor for Chicago’s ESPN 1000 will be with us to emcee the event.

Following, at the Kenilworth Club, three blocks away, will be a reception with super-star Julie Foudy plus live music featuring beloved and renowned singer-songwriter, Alice Peacock, in concert, as well as piano throughout the night by Chicago’s own music maestro, Steve Ford. Dancing, reunion and a night of celebration are in the cards for all. Look for silent auction items including an Ogichi American Girl doll, Chicago Bulls tickets and a MyChelle product basket. Tickets are priced separately at $50. Capacity is limited to 250. Venues are located in close proximity to the Metra train station in Kenilworth.
