Join us for an elegant late afternoon and early evening filled with laughter, dinner, conversation, and community — all while surrounded by gorgeous purses donated for raffle to help support the campaign of Veronica Garcia-Martinez for Illinois State Representative, District 70.

Guests will enjoy dinner, exciting purse raffles beginning at just $5 a ticket, and a hilarious comedy performance by Erika Fleck, one of the directors of the Epilepsy Advocacy Network. Erika is a fierce advocate for individuals and families impacted by epilepsy across Illinois and has helped connect countless people to critical care and services throughout the state. She joins us for an unforgettable evening of laughter and inspiration.
We will also hear from several incredible speakers throughout the evening.
✨ Seating is limited to only 90 guests, and just 75 tickets are available for purchase tonight.
🎯 Our fundraising goal is $10,000, and every ticket, sponsorship, and raffle entry helps move this campaign forward.
We hope you’ll join us for a meaningful and fun evening with friends, food, laughter, and community.
