Rat Pack impersonator headlines Oakton fundraiser

Entertainer Rex Tuley headlines Scholar Chips, Oakton Community College's Educational Foundation fundraiser for student scholarships, at Rivers Casino Friday, Aug. 22.

Tuley, a resident of the Northwest suburbs, will provide more than two hours of entertainment filled with renditions of songs by well-known crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

In addition, enjoy hors d'oeuvres, a dinner buffet, and an open bar. Tickets are $65 each. For tickets, call (847) 635-1893. Attendees must be 21 years or older.

"Last year, over 300 guests attended Scholar Chips, raising $28,000 for student scholarships," said Elena Couto, Oakton's manager of development and alumni relations. "We are hoping for an even greater show of support this year so that the Educational Foundation can meet its goal of raising $50,000 at the event."

Festivities start at 5 p.m. at 3000 South River Road, Des Plaines.

Special thanks to the event's Royal Flush sponsor AON. Full House sponsors include First Bank of Highland Park, The Northern Trust Company, Robbins Schwartz, and Turner Construction Company.
