'Green' estate tour to benefit children's hospital
People who like to "think green" can help chase away the blues for sick children by attending Changing the World Together, an estate tour of the ultimate green home at 6N558 Kim Lane in St. Charles - the proceeds of which will benefit Advocate Lutheran General Children's Hospital in Park Ridge.
Scheduled from noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8, and sponsored by Robert Lord Builders and Baird & Warner Real Estate, the estate tour charity event includes several highlights for attendees:
• An appearance by Dan Hampton, former Chicago Bears defensive lineman and NFL Hall of Famer, who will be available for pictures and autographs between noon and 2:30 p.m.
• A green expo hosted by Robert Lord and his team of environmental vendors from 2:30 to 5 p.m. In addition, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital's engineering team will discuss their facility's new "green" patient tower - the first of its kind in Illinois.
• An organic wine tasting from 5 to 7 p.m. Attendees can sample a variety of organic wines, learn the fundamentals of wine tasting and hear from the experts who will discuss what makes a wine organic.
• A silent auction that takes place from noon to 6:30 p.m.
Admission to Changing the World Together is $15 in advance or $20 at the door. To register and purchase tickets, visit robertlordbuilders.com. Proceeds benefit the hospital's Midwest Children's Brain Tumor Center and other special pediatric programs.
