On a crisp summer day on June 22, over 540 guests gathered at members only Northshore private club, Shoreacres in Lake Bluff, IL, to enjoy cocktails and dinner overlooking Lake Michigan, FUNdraising for the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. The 64th Annual Dinner on the Bluff presented by Wintrust and hosted by the Founders’ Board of Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, was part of an annual event that also featured a Pro Am championship the following day.
The night highlighted the Lurie Children’s Heart Center and featured patient family Tim and Lindsey Brach, who shared their story and the role genetics and discovery played in their journey to have a healthy and beautiful family, alongside their physician, Dr. Greg Webster. The crowd was inspired to raise paddles for Lurie Children’s, donating nearly $1M that evening for the first time in the event’s history. The rigorous donating ‘under the tent,’ paired with the incredible support of Wintrust, The Murphy Family, Packaging Corporation of America and Pasquesi Sheppard, and countless others, helped to raise nearly $2.1M for Lurie Children’s Heart Center.
Overseeing both events were co-chairs Jackie Magner and Katie Wilhelm. Stuart Lansing, chair of the Men’s Golf Committee, and its members led the way for a successful Pro Am Golf Tournament and the Dinner on the Bluff was beautifully executed by dinner co-chairs Kay Murphy and Cammy Hines.
The 64th Dinner on the Bluff event was held a day before the Pro Am Golf Championship which took place at Lake Forest’s Onwentsia Club where 54 golfer foursomes, each paired with a pro, competed to be crowned the 64rd Annual Pro Am’s newest winners. The June Seaman Trophy went to Ian Burkland, Casey Magner, Josh Earnest and Toby Enqvist joined by pro Andy Mickelson.
Together the events raised nearly $2.1M in support of the Founders’ Board new $4M commitment to Lurie Children’s Heart Center. This funding will help young congenital heart disease patients and their families and provide the ongoing care that impacts every area of their lives.
The Founders’ Board of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago is dedicated to supporting the hospital’s mission of providing the most advanced and compassionate healthcare for children and their families.
