2nd Annual Day of the Dead Masquerade Ball Profits from this fundraising event will benefit student members of the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois' JD Mentors Program by providing LSAT and state bar preparatory course scholarships for students who primarily rely on financial aid and public interest law fellowships for students seeking careers in which they can provide much needed legal assistance to the underrepresented. The event will include night long hors d'oeuvres and desserts, an event-influenced buffet, two open bars stocked with premium beverages, a separate bar featuring the new tequila Jose Cuervo® PlatinoTM, a silent auction, a display and auction of artwork inspired by the Day of the Dead and created by notable local artists, and a live performance by the Latin jazz ensemble Grupo Cha Cha. Masks designed and created by Semmerling & Schaefer Mask Studios will also be available during the event for $7 to $20, and a portion of the mask sales will be donated to "HLAI Charities."
