The Edward Foundation raised $850,000 at its 28th annual gala, The Big Gig: Swing, on Oct. 13 at the Westin Lombard.
A portion of the funds raised this year will help fund the Foundation’s Cardiac Innovations Campaign which will support construction of the Structural Heart Center and a new three-story Medical Office Building on the northeast corner of the Edward Hospital campus.
Nearly 700 people attended the event, which is Edward Foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year.
