Ketel One® Vodka and Men’s Book Chicago have partnered together to create the first-ever Chicago “Modern Hispanic Gentlemen” program to recognize outstanding gentlemen who support and impact Chicago’s philanthropic Hispanic community. Three influential Hispanics, who embody the style and substance of a Ketel One modern gentleman, were selected and Ketel One® Vodka will make a donation to three local charities selected by each participant. Below is the event schedule for each finalist and their selected charity:
