Morris Hospital Auxiliary hosts 55th Anniversary Gala to support cardiac care

The Morris Hospital Auxiliary will hold its 55th Anniversary Gala at 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 8 at Jennifer’s Garden, 555 Gore Road., Morris, with proceeds supporting cardiac care at Morris Hospital.

The event will begin with cocktails and a silent auction, followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and a live auction. The live auction will feature trips, tickets to major Chicago sporting events and other unique items. Dancing and music will follow.

“Cardiovascular disease affects many families in our local communities,” said Hannah Wehrle, Morris Hospital Auxiliary and Foundation Officer. “The physicians and staff at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers are committed to providing advanced cardiovascular care locally. It is because of generous donors to the Morris Hospital Auxiliary and Foundation that we are able to fund these critical, lifesaving cardiac programs.”

Tickets cost $175 with seating available at tables of 10. Sponsorship opportunities are also available at various levels. Donations are welcome.
