We are BACK!

After cancelling the Gala in 2020 due to COVID-19 and hosting a virtual event last year, the Franciscan Health Foundation is excited to announce this year’s annual Gala will be held live and in-person at the Chicago Field Museum on Saturday, October 29 at 6PM central.

We hope you will join us to Make a Difference for the most vulnerable populations we serve through the Foundation’s Community Health and Wellness Fund. Gifts to this fund allow us to feed the hungry, provide education for healthy lifestyles and ensure our neighbors receive the healthcare they need to survive.

It brings us great joy to be able to work with partners like you, because together, we can create transformational change for those most in need.
