I-GO’s annual holiday party is our way of saying thanks to our members for supporting Chicago’s only non-profit car sharing organization. They’re the folks who keep us motivated in our mission to curb car ownership and greenhouse gas emissions while providing affordable transportation to a diverse array of communities across the Chicago area.
This year’s party took place December 2 on the 15th floor of the Merchandise Mart, where guests were also given free passes to the Mart’s One of a Kind Show artisan craft bazaar. Party goers enjoyed savory food and drinks, participated in a silent auction and raffle, got the lowdown on I-GO’s plans for 2011, applauded I-GO’s 2010 GreenWorks Awards from the City of Chicago, and a few brave souls even capped off the night with a Michael Jackson-inspired dance-off.
Did we mention the party was free to all?
Local videographer Julie Johnson captured it on video:
