Chicago, IL – May 27, 2010 – SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SIMPLE & FUN where love was genuinely exemplified! CHICAGO! Shake the Lake 2010 hosted by Chicago Bears Star & Campins client Greg Olsen proved to be a night that will not soon be forgotten . For the second straight year, the Chicago Bears tight end Olsen hosted the Shake the Lake Music Festival at Joe’s Bar in Chicago.  Charismatic , grammy award winning artist extraordinaire Darius Rucker and his electrifying baritone voice was just one of the highlights of the special evening.  Up-and-coming artists Matt Kennon and Lewis Copeland were also on the musical lineup for the Receptions for Research benefit.  Chicago’s own Ramblin’ Ray of US99 emceed the evening and reminded the crowd why they were there . Receptions for Research, was founded in honor of his mother, a breast cancer survivor, and was established in 2009 to provide hospitals, doctors and researchers the necessary resources to save those affected with cancer. It collaborates and partners with other organizations to help find a cure for all fatal cancers. The Lynn Sage Foundation, established by the family of Lynn Sage, is committed to the discovery of a cure for breast cancer and has partnered with the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, a nationally recognized leader in breast cancer care, education and research. “It’s a very important cause to me,” Olsen said. “It’s very close to my family. That’s why it’s a family-run organization. We work hard at it and we take a lot of pride in putting together events for people to have a good time. We also take pride in the fact that we’ve raised a large amount of money just having been around for a year. We hope everyone comes out. The money’s going for a good cause.” Greg’s wife Kara Olsen runs Campins Chicago, an extension of The Luxury Real Estate Boutique Company in South Beach and does a fantastic job. Kara is a class act and epitomizes the strength and character of a woman behind a great man. Love “Chi-Town” – the vibration, the people, and the pride – there is no place like it! It is night’s like these when I realize how impactful the people I surround myself can be and why its important to use your influence to constantly make the world a better place. I am thankful to have special people like Kara and Greg in my life and will continue to help their cause .
