This
evening, Wednesday, February 8, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar (25
E. Ohio St., Chicago, IL 60611; 312-329-9463) is hosting a benefit for Illinois
Supreme Court candidate Joy Virginia Cunningham from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The
event will feature some of Fleming’s fine wines paired with their incredible
appetizers and small plates. Several business, philanthropic and community
leaders will also be in attendance, and Cunningham will be making a special
appearance. Guests will have the opportunity to speak with Cunningham and hear
about her experiences and qualifications to serve on the Illinois Supreme Court.
Combined with the sophisticated social atmosphere of Fleming’s and their
delicious food and wine offerings, the evening is sure to be enjoyable.
With
more than 35 years of professional experience, Joy Cunningham is an experienced
and passionate public servant whose life is dedicated to the welfare and
security of her fellow Americans. Her
professional life is focused on two of the most important issues of our
time—health care and justice. A former critical care nurse and a graduate of
John Marshall Law School, Cunningham has enjoyed a long and successful career
in the business world. She has served as a Cook County Court Associate Judge,
on the Illinois Appellate Court’s First District, Second District and the
Appellate Court’s Executive Committee, and was the first African-American woman
to be elected president of the Chicago Bar Association, the largest municipal
bar association in the United States. Today, Justice Cunningham has the chance
to make history once again as the first African-American woman elected to the
Illinois Supreme Court.
The tickets
to the benefit are $150 per person. Individuals unable to attend may still
