Yelp.Community: Causes for a Party in Chicago!

It was just a match made In Yelpin' at the first ever community-service focused Yelp event in Chicago, Yelp.Community: Causes for a Party!

Yelp Chicago (and Chicagoland) worked together to round up some stellar Chicago area non-profits in need of support and volunteers, in an effort to match them with a large group of excited, passionate yelpers. Indeed it seemed to do the trick...with participating non-profits reporting over 1,500 sign-ups! Yelp Blog (5).JPG 


Pazzo's beautiful atrium in the Loop set the scene along with beautiful arrangements by
Evolution Floral for an evening of networking, connecting, good spirit and goodwill...and in true Yelp fashion it was a rockin' party as well! Shutterbooth.com was snap snappin' fab photobooth pics, Victoria Sprung (Sprung Photo) and Jen Soares (Jennifer Soares Photography) captured the evening all candid-style, while Cage & Aquarium Productions worked to keep the vibe spinnin' with tunes....
