The nonprofit branch of real estate heavyweight firm @properties, @gives back, recently partnered with the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation founded by the Chicago Cubs first baseman to knock the Strike Out Cancer fundraiser out of the park. The event at Architectural Artifacts featured a silent auction and VIP reception with Rizzo, and included cocktails along with baseball-themed bites. Guests got into the giving spirit during the silent auction to try and win elite prizes, like an exclusive Wrigley Field dugout experience, helping to raise more than $130,000 in support of cancer research and those battling the disease.
