FAQ

What is the Gold COast Fashion Show?

The Gold Coast Fashion Show is the signature fundraising event of the Children’s Service Board (CSB), an affiliated organization of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. In 2019, the event raised over $1,000,000 in support of the Department of Family Services at Lurie Children’s. This year, the board has made a comeback (after canceling the 2020 show) with a week full of in-person and virtual events for our invited guests to support us however they feel most comfortable.

Safety Precautions

All in-person events will abide by CDC guidelines and any City of Chicago restrictions. Specific guidelines related to our in-person events will be emailed out the week of our event. In accordance with Lurie Children’s precautions, all in-person guests will be required to sign a waiver and wear a mask during the event. In an effort to serve our out-of-town supporters or Chicago supporters who wish to not attend in-person events, we have created exciting virtual opportunities, including a livestream of the Thursday, September 23 evening fashion show.

To view and sign the mandatory waiver, please click here.

Is parking available at the old post office?

Yes, daytime parking is $25 per vehicle and evening parking is $15.The entrance to the parking garage is at 404 West Harrison St. Once you and your guests have arrived follow the signs to an orange door labeled "Historic Lobby". You will then enter at the second floor turnstiles and will be met by security and/or the Lurie Children’s team and then will be directed appropriately.
