Event Description:
Our friends at Open Heart Magic are hosting their annual benefit, "Tricks Are For Kids," and they need some awesome volunteers to make sure the event runs smoothly. One Brick volunteers will be helping with coat check, silent auction, registration, selling raffle tickets, clean up, and anything else to help Open Heart Magic have a truly magical event.
Dress code: Comfortable shoes as most people will be standing or walking around all night, black or dark slacks/dress pants is preferred and we will provide them with an Open Heart Magic t-shirt to wear during their shift. Please indicate your t-shirt size when RSVPing to the event.
Open Heart Magic:
In November, 2003, commodities trader Mike Walton became a volunteer at Rush Childrens Hospital performing close-up, sleight-of-hand magic for patients. He soon realized that magic offered the perfect vehicle for helping kids by getting them involved with an interaction that excited and interested them. With each trick, the kids learned new skills and rediscovered their sense of fun and laughter things that kids need in order to heal and return to full strength. In 2004, Open Heart Magic was officially registered as a not-for-profit (NFP) organization and received the tax-exempt 501c(3) status as a charitable foundation. Today, Hospital Magicians now reach out to kids in nine Chicago area hospitals, working closely with our hospital partners to help support the healing and well-being of patients and their families. Weve pioneered additional programming to help support long-term patients who require extended interactions with our magicians. To learn more: www.openheartmagic.org
