On the night before New Year’s, more than 2,000 revelers celebrated at HighSight’s 18th annual Eve of the Eve bash. Attendees mingled, sipped from an open bar and danced to live performances by Pat McKillen and South of 80 inside Union Station’s Great Hall. The evening’s festivities — which included a silent auction with prizes ranging from Bulls tickets to a Mexican vacation — helped net more than $175,000 to provide scholarships, tutoring and mentoring for Chicago’s high school students. The Sun-Times was the media sponsor of this event. Story by Bianca Betancourt | Photos by Dwayne Kwan
