The Hospitals' Gala

The Auxiliary of NorthShore University HealthSystem at Evanston & Glenbrook Hospitals is thrilled to announce that The 2012 Hospitals’ Gala will take place on Saturday, June 23 at the Hilton Chicago. Nearly 700 business, healthcare and civic leaders from the North Shore and greater Chicago area will attend this year's Gala, with proceeds from the event supporting “The DodoNA Project: DNA Prediction to Improve Neurological Health.”

The World Health Organization states that one in six people will be affected by a brain disorder. That’s why the 2012 Gala proceeds will benefit “The DodoNA Project: DNA Prediction to Improve Neurological Health.”

This visionary research at NorthShore University HealthSystem aims to predict, prevent and halt disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, brain tumors and multiple sclerosis. In ancient Greece, leaders would visit oracles to obtain predictions of the future. At DodoNA, the oldest oracle, priestesses would interpret the rustling of leaves of a sacred oak tree to determine the correct actions to be taken. Today, the physician-scientists at NorthShore can develop methods to interpret subtle variations in DNA, the “tree of life,” to predict outcomes and determine the correct actions for our patients.

We invite you to get ready to rumba at Latin Nights, City Lights and support the 2012 Hospitals’ Gala. Reserve your space or purchase raffle tickets.

Make a donation in support of The Gala and this groundbreaking research. 

Thank you to our 2012 Event Sponsors.
