June 25, 2012 – (Above) What a Spring Fling looks like from 37 stories up. The John Buck Company, a real estate company in Chicago, held its 24th annual benefit last Thursday at 330 North Wabash. Besides being one of the notable social events of the year, Spring Fling supports non-profit organizations in Chicago. This year it was the Noble Network of Charter Schools, which provides public education to low-income high school students.

Featuring a live band – Liquidated Damages in recent years – the events typically attract about 2,000 people. (Click on image to view larger version.)
