Chicago Bobcats, it’s your turn.

Join us for our annual Take This Town, where Bobcats come together in cities across the nation on the same day, at the same time. This year, we’re showing up strong in 12 cities—and Chicago is one of them. Don’t miss your chance to be part of a legacy.

Hosted at City Winery Chicago in the heart of the West Loop, this is your chance to reconnect, grow your Bobcat network, and be part of something bigger happening coast-to-coast. With great food, drinks, and interactive fun, this is a summer night you’ll want to lock in early.

Registration includes:

* Networking with local Bobcats
* Bobcat Bingo (an alumni favorite)
* Open bar
* Plenty of food: slider station (cheeseburger, Nashville chicken, and veggie) with house cut fries and a s'more station
* A chance to win prizes
* Limited edition Take This Town swag

Spots are limited! Secure yours and help us Take This Town.
