Sturge Weber Foundation Conference
7/18/2015
Marriott O'Hare, 8535 W. Higgins Road, Chicago, IL 60631

This was the wrap up for the Sturge Weber Conference in Chicago, with a dinner dance for the participants. They wanted to do a red carpet walk for the kids, families and medical professionals to honor their daily heroism & we were there to pose for photos, dance with kids and most importantly provide the group salute for the Foundation families.

Sturge–Weber syndrome is a rare congenital neurological and skin disorder. It is often associated with port-wine stains of the face, glaucoma, seizures, mental retardation, and cerebral malformations and tumors. It is characterized by abnormal blood vessels on the brain surface. Normally, only one side of the brain is affected.

We arrived at 6:30 P.M. & were ready to troop at 7:30 P.M. Trooped till 10:00 P.M. With our entrance they rolled out the red carpet for us as Boba Fett lead Darth Vader into the room as a myriad of flashes welcomed us to the event keeping with their red carpet event. After the initial entrance we walked around mingling with the guest taking photos. They had a Chicago city back drop for photo opportunities.

We were joined by another costuming group, Costumers with a Cause.
