Looking good after a decade of Big Nights!

Friends and guests put our dog walking clothes aside once again for our annual Big Night celebrity chefs event on Thursday evening, October 16. Nearly 300 of us gathered under the gorgeous Tiffany Dome at the Chicago Cultural Center to indulge ourselves in the creative cookery of Jackie Shen and more than a dozen of her chef friends. Who was there? Take a look…

Channel 7 sports anchor Jim Rose and his wife Lakesha have acted as Masters of Ceremony for 3 years now, bringing excitement to the live auction.

Live entertainment included the Cover Girls 5 women who played purple violins with over-the-top energy and enthusiasm.

Inspired by her first dog, a black lab name Luke, Chef Jackie Shen started Big Night 10 years ago to help save the lives of dogs at the city shelter.
