The Buckingham Club of Chicago Annual Cocktail Party

You’re invited to the annual summer cocktail party of the Buckingham Club of Chicago! Strengthen your UW network in the Chicago area, meet UW innovators on the leading edge of transformative Alzheimer’s research, and socialize with Badger athletics leaders. Enjoy a spirited evening in the North Shore supporting important UW–Madison philanthropic causes, including the UW Initiative to End Alzheimer’s Research Fund and the Badger Fund in support of UW athletics.

If you’d like to donate directly to both causes, consider a gift to the Buckingham Club of Chicago Fund.
