The University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation’s auxiliary board made mincemeat of holiday rushing around for 50 guests at their annual Ladies Night Out Charity Sip & Shop in Northfield on Nov. 30.

Guests enjoyed a leisurely pace to their shopping while raising critical funds for the foundation’s innovative research programs.

Ten percent of Sip & Shop proceeds went toward investing in innovation by giving unrestricted grants to establish research programs focused on prevention, early detection and treatment of cancer.

Founded in 1951 by a North Shore resident, the organization has raised nearly $3 million dollars.
