Join the Michigan State Alumni Club of Metro Chicago for a black tie optional evening of festivity and enjoyment at the River East Art Center on February 25, 2012.
SpartyBall in the Windy City is one of the MSU Alumni Club of Chicago’s premier annual events. Each year, SpartyBall brings together alumni and friends from across the country for an evening of philanthropy and fun. Proceeds from the event go toward the Club’s Endowed Scholarships which enable students from the Chicago area to attend MSU.
SpartyBall celebrates our shared Spartan heritage; and like any good celebration, will feature fantastic food, a premium open bar, music and dance, and a silent auction.
This year, we will be joined by honored guests from East Lansing past recipients of the Metropolitan Chicago Endowed Scholarship and Sparty himself. We will also be recognizing our 2012 Chicago Distinguished Alumni Award recipients.
Perhaps most importantly, as a fundraiser for the Club’s scholarship endowment, SpartyBall is a chance to give back the gift that each of us has received – a world class education from Michigan State University.
We look forward to your presence, and appreciate your support.
