IPA Mardi Gras This annual gala takes a different theme each year, even though we call it Mardi Gras to reflect the good times that roll all during the evening. With cuisine paying homage to great Chicago restaurants both past and present, this year’s attendees “got jazzed ” Windy City style.

Whether it’s using funny money at the gaming tables, eating delicious food, or dancing to a great band, there’s something for everyone each year. Creative class art pieces are always a hit in the silent auction. This year there were a plethora of hotel stays in the silent auction as well as two stays including air fare in the exciting live auction.
