CHICAGO (WLS) -- HelloBaby is Chicago's first free-of-charge place for families to take their children to just be kids and play.

Debbie Frisch, the founder of HelloBaby, and Board President Jennifer Mosley joined ABC7 Chicago Tuesday to talk more about it.



HelloBaby is located at 600 E. 61st St. in Chicago's West Woodlawn neighborhood.

They're getting ready for a big fundraiser this weekend.

On Sunday, Mosley is hosting HerStory, a fundraiser, with all proceeds going to HelloBaby. This event will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. at Bassline, located at 2239 S. Michigan Ave. The event will feature a party and performances by retired and current female dancers across all genres, including Mosley, a longtime contemporary dancer.



"The idea is to use the art of dance to tell stories that all people can relate to," Mosley said. "As a longtime dancer and lover of dance, I know that it's a form of art that connects people."
