The Professional Partners of The Children's Place Association is a dynamic group of young career-oriented individuals from a variety of professions who organize fundraising projects to support our programs for children and families affected by HIV/AIDS. 

As the organization's junior board, the group's mission is to support the important work of The Children’s Place Association through fundraising, awareness raising and volunteer participation.

Each year they plan a premier fundraising event to raise awareness and support for the organization, complete with a great venue, wonderful food and raffle prizes.  The 2011 event, held at Market's Rooftop Lounge in Chicago, raised more than $10,000 net. 

This year, the Professional Partners are hosting their popular spring fundraiser on Friday, June 1 at Underground 8 PM - 11 PM).  Join us in raising more than $20,000 at "A Night in Hollywood"! Tickets now available!
