We’re looking forward to another inspiring evening in Chicago on Thursday, October 22nd from 6pm – 9pm. It will be a wonderful evening raising awareness and funds for early detection ovarian cancer research. The evening will feature cocktails, delicious bites, meaningful connections, and a powerful program highlighting the impact of this critical work. More details to come!
