This Friday is Play for Life International’s big fundraiser:

Play for Life International is a nonprofit that uses sports to help at-risk youth develop healthy relationships and learn essential life lessons.  It’s not just about winning, it’s about empowerment: the power to live a positive lifestyle, the power to treat others with respect, and the power to make parcours obstacle gonflable responsible choices. Every day, we’re reminding these kids that they’re not victims of circumstances – they’re contenders.

The Fourth Annual Season Opener: The Best of the Ball Park is their largest fundraiser of the year. Competing chefs include: Sean Cunneen from Inspiration Kitchens Uptown, Ryan Pitts from RL, Carlos Gaytan of Mexique, and Jason Petrie of Revolution Brewery face-off in a contest creating their own twist on ball park fare. Guests will be able to sample each chef’s creation, and, at the end of the night, one chef will be crowned The Best of the Ball Park.

Tickets are $65 in advance or $75 at the door. Chicago Foodies readers, use the promocode CHCO to get $10 off.
