21 SATURDAY Seven months ago Luis Eduardo Sanchez was born in Guadalajara with Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID) and was given five months to live. His relatives, including family in Oak Park, are trying to raise $200,000 for a bone marrow transplant, but first they must find a donor with a similar ethnic background–no easy task, since the Latino community is sorely underrepresented in donor programs. Tonight the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum will hold a raffle and art auction to help raise funds for the procedure. Art to be auctioned includes works by Blanca Evangelista, Guillermo Delgado, and Jeff Maldonado; raffle prizes include two free plane tickets to anywhere in the U.S. or Mexico. The preview is at 5:30 and the auction and raffle are from 6 to 8 at the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum, 1862 W. 19th. A donation of $5 or more is suggested. Call 312-738-1503.

(4) Don’t sit, if you can lie down, and (5) Don’t stay awake, if you can take a nap.” That kind of indulgence also characterizes LaVey’s Church of Satan, which a U.S. army pamphlet called “essentially a human potential movement.” Tonight the Psychotronic Film Society will present a never-released film about the group’s rituals called Satanis. It’s at 8:15 at the Liar’s Club, 1665 W. Fullerton; it’s free. Call 773-665-1110 for more.
