The current situation in the Darfur region of Sudan prompted one local Evanston resident to action this month. Kelly Grotke began a fund-raising effort in October, with a goal of raising funds for Doctors Without Borders, an international medical aid group. Tonight is the culmination of Code Blue: Darfur; a charity auction occurs at 6:30 p.m. at the Lake Street Church, 1458 Chicago Ave in Evanston. Donations are also gladly accepted.
