Final Thoughts: This is an event adjacent with the Midwest’s charity partner of choice for Extra Life, Lurie Children’s over the last several years! It is a one day event, and we are still getting details on our level of involvement here! Assumption right now is that we may have covered entry unless I am told otherwise. Otherwise there are no plans for a booth, and we are seeing if there are any prop restrictions given the nature of the event.
