More than 600 guests “paddled up” for the 7th annual Jackson Chance Foundation’s Ping Pong Ball on November 14 at the St. Jane Hotel. Sponsored by Chicago magazine, the event broke the nonprofit’s fundraising record of raising more than $450,000 for its mission to remove the financial burden of parking for families with critically ill babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This year’s star-filled Ping Pong Ball was led by honorary chair and former Chicago Cub Ryan Dempster with special guests Taylor Kinney, Kye Martin, Pat Tomasulo, Charles Tillman, Jerry Azumah, Kelvin Hayden, Susanna Homan, and more!
