Jan. 18: Stay warm alongside some of Chicago’s hottest sports stars at the Wood Family Foundation’s second annual Woody’s Warm-Up event held at Harry Caray’s Tavern Navy Pier (600 E. Grand). Former Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood, who founded the nonprofit with his wife, Sarah, will join fellow Cubs such as Starlin Castro, David DeJesus and Carlos Marmol behind the bar where they’ll sling drinks (and compete for tips) for guests including Cubs owner Tom Ricketts, Chicago Bear J’Marcus Webb and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Wood Family Foundation, which works to improve the lives of children in and around Chicago. Tickets: $150. Visit Woodfamilyfoundation.org.
