The Hoffman Estates Jaycees and the Chicago Entrepreneur Meetup Group have teamed up to host a Business Networking After Hours event on Thursday, Jan. 24, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Claim Jumper. Proceeds from the night will be donated to "Nothing But Nets."

Local businesses and young professionals in the area have been invited to this networking event where Mayor McLeod will be in attendance for a short announcement. Light appetizers will be provided, and a cash bar is available.

Both the Jaycees and the Chicago Entrepreneur Meetup Group seek to empower young adults and local businesses through education, networking and community service. A business after hours networking event will allow local Chicagoland businesses to meet and support each other while raising funds for a worthy cause.

Donations are being accepted for a raffle to be held at the event. Click here for information about registering for the event or donating to the cause.
