More than leaves are falling this autumn... join The Chicago League of Lady Arm Wrestlers (CLLAW) for CLLAW XXVIII: FALL of the Patriarchy on Friday, November 3, 2017 at Logan Square Auditorium, 2539 N. Kedzie Ave. in Chicago. CLLAW's 28th benefit match will feature Chicago's biggest, baddest lady-identified arm wrestlers, live musical entertainment from The Fox & The Hounds and a cash bar. Doors open at 9 pm with the first match beginning at9:30 pm. Tickets, priced at $15, are available in advance at www.cllaw.org or $20 at the door (the ladies will gladly take cash or credit at the door).

All proceeds from CLLAW XXVIII will benefit Sideshow Theatre Company and Chicago Women's Health Center.

Dr. Beverly Crush-her. Elton Brawn. Lady MacFist. Special Agent Dana Skully. Hermione Danger. Gal Fieri... and returning CLLAW champion WinaFight Sanderson. Their names echo through the ages. They come from all corners of Chicago, united only by One Dream: to elbow their way through the competition and wrestle their way to the top. Joined by CLLAW's Mistress of Ceremonialisms Harry Scaray, referee (and three-time CLLAW champion!) Macho Ma'Am CAndy Savage and commentators Vallery Dolls and Charlie No Pants, the line-up of not-so-lady-like ladies in outrageous costumes volunteer their time to vie for that most cherished prize - the bedazzled CLLAW gloves. Who will leverage their way up the bracket? Or bribe their way to the top? All these questions and more will be answered, and all of Chicago is invited to bear witness.

Not content to leave the fun in the arms of its competitors, CLLAW XXVIII gets everyone in on the action. Audience members have the opportunity to purchase CLLAWBUX, the official currency of CLLAW, throughout the night. With their CLLAWBUX, onlookers can bet on their favorite wrestlers to prevail, and maybe slip a few to the referees to even the score. All CLLAWBUX purchased also go towards fantastic raffle prizes. Half-priced CLLAWBUX are available in advance.

A portion of CLLAW XXVIII proceeds will benefit Chicago Women's Health Center. CWHC's mission is to facilitate the empowerment of women and trans people by providing access to health care and health education in a respectful environment where people pay what they can afford.
