THE WINE HARVEST BALL

Photography by Dave Honor Wellness House hosted 420 guests at Revel Fulton Market in Chicago on Oct. 15 for the Wine Harvest Ball, which raised more than $500,000 for programs supporting those that are living with cancer. The Wine Harvest Ball, chaired by Tiffany and Kevin Knaul of Hinsdale, featured a wine auction, live auction and paddle raise, giving guests an opportunity to make donations in support of Wellness House programs. Guests danced until midnight to music performed by Colby Beserra and the Party Faithful. Members of the Wellness House Young Adult Group shared personal stories through a presentation, and the evening culminated with a special musical performance by Shawn Gilley, a Wellness House young adult participant. All funds raised directly impact the lives of people affected by cancer through Wellness House programs, such as exercise classes, nutrition classes and consultations, and fitness consultations. This annual fundraiser is critical to supporting the mission of Wellness House, at which all services are offered to cancer patients and their family members at no cost to educate, support and empower so that they can improve their physical and emotional well-being.
