The entire Chicago Bulls team along with coach Vinny Del Negro and the rest of the Bulls staff will officially open the 2009-10 basketball season with the team's annual Tip-Off Luncheon on Oct. 21 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago.

Long-time Bulls announcer Neil Funk will emcee the Wednesday luncheon, which will include addresses from Bulls general manager Gar Forman and Del Negro.

Bulls' players will be on hand to comment on their expectations and goals for the new season as guests enjoy lunch and take advantage of the opportunity to purchase pieces of Bulls' history in a silent auction. All proceeds from the event and the silent auction will benefit CharitaBulls.

The event gets under way at noon Oct. 21 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago (Crystal Ballroom), 151 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago.

Individual tickets are $70 (includes lunch), and tables of 10 can be reserved for $700. Tickets may be purchased by contacting the Bulls at (312) 455-4122 or Bulls.com.
