Cubs home opener. Conan's return to TV. Oprah kerfuffle. Yep, it's just another manic Monday 'round these parts.

Manic could also describe the frenzied work of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago over the past 25 years, as it's fought the good fight against a debilitating disease. You can help toast the Foundation's work at Not Just Song and Dance, its exclusive spring gala, which returns after a four-year hiatus on May 1 at the Hilton Chicago. For $500, you'll enjoy drinks, a four-course dinner, dancing and a special performance by '80s pop stars The Bangles. Find all the details and register at aidschicago.org.
