CITY OF HOPE
Each year, the City of Hope’s Chicago Real Estate Industries group (CREI) hosts an unforgettable evening at the iconic House of Blues Chicago. Organized by the Real Estate Action Committee for Hope (REACH), the Annual REACH Social unites over 700 professionals from the real estate, construction, and design industries for a night of networking, live music, and raising vital support for cancer and diabetes research. For the past 26 years, Liquidated Damages has been the event’s musical cornerstone, performing year after year to help elevate this show-stopping event in support of one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States.
USO
A non-profit organization, USO is fully supported by the generosity of the American people. USO Clark After Dark gives Chicagoans an opportunity to support U.S. Armed Forces members and show their appreciation. Liquidated Damages has been a staple at this event for over a decade.
