Arnie Harris, President and CEO of Harris & Harris, and Dave Harris, COO of Harris & Harris, were among dozens of attendees at an October fundraiser benefitting the Jewish United Fund of Chicago, hosted by Lester and Renee Crown.
Chicago’s Mayor Richard M. Daley was the keynote speaker at the event, and afterward talked politics with Arnie and Dave. “We thanked the Mayor for his service to Chicago, as well as for the City’s partnership with Harris & Harris for parking ticket collections and in various local philanthropic endeavors,” said Arnie Harris. “It was a wonderful evening.”

Harris & Harris is actively involved in area charities, such as the Greater Chicago Food Depository, the Jane Addams Hull House, and the WITS literacy program, to name just a few.
