Join the Illinois Chapter of the American Liver
Foundation (ALF) on May 2, 2006 as they host
their 12th Annual Celebrating Life Spring Benefit
Reception, Tribute and Abstract Competition at
the Hilton Hotel Chicago.  This years event will
have a unique festive twist featuring a magician,
caricaturist, food stations along with live
entertainment throughout the evening. Our
honoree program this year recognizes people from
different ends of the spectrum in the battle
against liver diseases. We will also be
incorporating our Abstract Competition with the
event allowing guests the opportunity to learn
more about the research side of our battle. This
upscale event will give your company the
opportunity to reach over 500 attendees
consisting of upper bracket income business
leaders and medical professionals between 35 and
55 years of age. Also in attendance will be
patients, health care workers and other parties
interested in finding cures for liver diseases
and promoting liver health. Proceeds from this
event allow ALF to focus on immediate concerns
such as community support groups, increasing
organ donor awareness, continuing our public
lecture educational series and increasing funding
for research. Your companys sponsorship will
also be acknowledged by thousands more with your
inclusion in the American Liver Foundation
Illinois Chapter website and newsletter, LIFE
which has over 4,000 subscribers in Illinois and
