John Buck's Spring Fling!
The John Buck Foundation held its 27th annual Spring Fling last Thursday, which unofficially marks the start of summer for Chicago's commercial real estate industry. Event coordinator Donna Wright (whom we snapped in a moment of rest before starting plans for next year) tell us this year's event raised over $900k for Off the Street Club, which has offered tutoring, after-school programs and mentoring for at-risk youth since 1900.
