Dancing thru the Decades will be a gala supporting the Ascension Illinois Foundation which raises tens of millions of dollars annually to advance the mission of Ascension Illinois across the greater Chicago area. Our community's generosity supports the work of our healthcare ministry across 14 hospitals, 230 sites of care and numerous programs ands services that address our communities' health needs. The communities we serve range from Evanston to Elgin, and Aurora to Chicago, and Joliet and Kankakee. 

The event will be hosted on Saturday, April 27 at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel, and is expected to have over 600 people in attendance. Guests range from health system administrators, hospital executives, physicians, community leaders and vendors of Ascension Illinois, and come from all corners of the Chicagoland area. The goal is to raise $1 Million that will be invested in behavioral health programs and services. 

As record numbers of Americans struggle with anxiety, OCD, depression and other mental health issues, Ascension Illinois continues to lead in providing life-saving treatment. As a not-for-profit, faith based health system, we cannot do this alone. Your generosity ensures that tens of thousands of people this year and many more in years to come will continue to have access to the personalized highly specialized behavioral health treatment they need, when they need it most.
