Orland Square Mall Celebrates Chicagoland Moms as part of National Mom's Nite Out, May 9

It’s high time for moms to be pampered and on May 9, Orland Square Mall, Chicagoland’s leading fashion destination, is the place to be as Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE:SPG), the world’s leading retail real estate company, provides a free evening of relaxation and fun in honor of national Mom’s Nite Out™, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Orland Square Mall is just one of more than 129 Simon® properties that will be participating in this year’s national event. The presenting sponsor of Simon’s Mom’s Nite Out celebration this year is Rethink Varicose Veins.

Orland Square Mall invites Chicagoland area moms to relax and unwind as part of its free celebration of motherhood, all focused on rewarding moms. Attendees will have the opportunity to mingle with other moms and enjoy an evening of pampering, social networking, style presentations, food tastings courtesy of The Cheesecake Factory, Dave & Busters and Williams Sonoma, fitness demonstrations, live entertainment, giveaways and more. In addition, in partnership with the Orland Park Prairie, Orland Square will also recognize Orland Park’s “Hardest Working Moms”, with nominees receiving VIP treatment at the event. 

“Moms are so incredibly deserving of a night off,” said Gayle Gleespen, director of mall marketing at Orland Square Mall, “and it is our privilege to be the venue where they come to enjoy it.” Gleespen added that as an extra bonus, one lucky mom and her friend will be treated to a trip to Chicago to see Bon Jovi’s “Because We Can” tour at historic Soldier Field on Friday, July 12th. Bon Jovi’s new release, “What About Now” is in stores now.

Rethink Varicose Veins is an educational campaign encouraging the more than 30 million1,2  Americans who suffer from venous disease, including varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), to rethink their condition and recognize it as a serious health concern.

The campaign, led by a coalition of medical societies and sponsored by Covidien, encourages those with venous disease to learn more about their condition, find a vein specialist, and make informed decisions about the best, and often minimally-invasive treatment option for them. As part of the campaign, Olympic Gold Medalist Summer Sanders shares her personal story about the impact venous disease had on her life and the improvements she experienced following treatment.

The Rethink Varicose Veins team will be at Mom’s Nite Out dispelling the myths about varicose veins and encouraging attendees to take a quick self-assessment to determine their risk for varicose veins and CVI.  Taking the self-assessment will automatically enter attendees for an opportunity to win a spa getaway weekend at the Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa, Nov. 14-17, 2013. Or visit www.RethinkVV.com/escape for a chance to win.

Originally organized by Maria Bailey, CEO of BSM Media, author and Mom Talk Radio host, National Mom’s Nite Out unites social media groups, companies, local playgroups, mom bloggers and networks in giving moms a well-deserved night off. Bailey brought the first National Mom’s Nite Out to life after watching moms take care of everyone else on Mother’s Day, but never themselves.

“National Mom’s Nite Out is one of the largest cooperative efforts of Mommy groups, Mom-focused organizations and corporations, bloggers and vloggers – all coming together for one great night in support of motherhood,” Bailey said.
