North Ave., Elmwood Park, Ill., hosts its 7th Annual Luau/Pig Roast from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on July 12. The event is designed to raise funds for Children’s Memorial Hospital of Chicago.
Tickets to the Luau, which is open to the public, are $50 per person and include a roast pig dinner, island beverages and live entertainment, plus the opportunity to show off your tropical talents in Hula Hoop, limbo stick and Mai Tai contests. Reservations can be made in advance by calling 312-994-6300. Tickets will be sold at the door.
“The Luau has become a summer highlight for our office and has helped us raise close to $60,000 for Children’s Memorial over the last six years, so we just had to do it again,” said Jason Palermo, broker/owner of RE/MAX Vision and its sister office, RE/MAX Vision II, which is located at 350 W. Ontario St., Chicago. “It’s a great way to celebrate summer while we support the outstanding work of a great hospital.”
The RE/MAX Northern Illinois network raised more than $240,000 for Children’s Memorial in 2007, making it one of the hospital’s largest benefactors. The 3,600 RE/MAX associates in northern Illinois are pleased to support those fund raising efforts through a variety of activities as they continue to lead the residential real estate market.

Chicago Real Estate Leader Brings Hot Air Balloon To Yorkville Grade School On June 9
Chicago real estate leader, RE/MAX, will bring its hot air balloon to the students at Yorkville Grade School, 210 W. Somonauk St., Yorkville, Ill., on June 9. The children will learn about hot air ballooning during a special interactive educational program. The visit is part of an on-going balloon education program developed by RE/MAX Northern Illinois. The balloon and crew were at Yorkville Intermediate School on May 30.
The 230 students at the school will see a presentation that covers various aspects of ballooning, including its history, the scientific principles involved and a demonstration on how the balloon functions. The program will be presented at 8:30 a.m. If weather conditions permit, the presentation will take place outdoors and the 75-foot tall balloon will be fully inflated with hot air. Should the weather fail to cooperate, the presentation will be moved indoors.
Mary Ann Schaper, a sales associate with RE/MAX Great American II in Yorkville, is sponsoring this event.
