The Insider's Chicago Weekend for Your Charity Auction
What is The Insider's Chicago Weekend? It is a risk-free consignment auction package for nonprofits: four experiences for two, including a river architecture tour, a Loop food walk, Willis Tower Skydeck, and a 21+ speakeasy tour. Hotel is not included. The nonprofit pays $499 only if the package sells. If it does not sell, the nonprofit owes nothing.
Four stacked Chicago experiences for two. River architecture, Loop food walk with deep-dish as offered, Willis Tower Skydeck including The Ledge, and a 21+ speakeasy walking tour. No hotel. No airfare.
A weekend-shaped stack for two in Chicago. Concierge books the dates and confirms meeting points. Experiences may spread across two days when calendars allow. Distinct from The Insider's Chicago Day (single day walk) and from Ultimate Chicago Weekend and Wrigley rooftop packages. Speakeasy guests must be 21 or older with a valid ID. Drinks on the cruise and at speakeasies are extra.
Example at opening bid: $600 - $499 = $101 net. Not a guarantee.
