The West Side Rooters Social Club and Geovany Soto are pleased to present the 2008 Rooters Ball. This year’s Ball will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Soto’s favorite charity. Like the Rooters Ball of 1908, held just before the Cubs last won the World Series, this year’s event will give fans the chance to mingle with their favorite players including Geovany Soto, Aramis Ramirez, Carlos Mármol and others, along with Hall of Famer and Rooters Chairman Ernie “Mr. Cub- Banks. Unlike the 1908 Ball, attire will be casual. Guests will attend a private cocktail reception and dinner with the players at Harry Caray’s Tavern in Wrigleyville. They will have the opportunity to discuss this year’s remarkable season and even have the chance to be served by a star when players take shifts as celebrity bartenders. A live auction featuring dinner for four at Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse with Geovany Soto will take place along with a silent auction and a raffle, with 100% of proceeds benefitting JDRF.

Tickets to the Ball, which are limited to 250, are $100 apiece and will sell out. Tickets can be purchased at westsiderooters.com or by calling 312.595.4554. 100% of proceeds from the event will benefit JDRF.
