What a great time! We had a blast at our Guest Bartending Event at Marys Place on Thursday night. More than 100 friends of Northern Illinois Hospice came out and gave more than $5,587 in support of our agency!

Let’s give a big shout out to our friends at M3 Insurance for hosting this event; to Mary’s Place for opening their doors to us; and to all the local celeb bartenders (Sheriff Gary Caruana, Joseph Chiarelli, Jennifer Furst, Geno Iafrate, Elect Greg Jury for Loves Park Mayor, Kevin McCarthy Winnebago County Board - District 11, Tom McNamara for Mayor, Jennifer Muraski for Coroner, Carla Redd, and Brent Scott) who kept the drinks flowing all night. Mid-West Family Broadcasting, 13 WREX, and WTVO-17 (Eyewitness News) all deserve a huge thanks for all their radio and TV support in promoting the fundraiser. And special kudos go to WIFR TV for the amazing morning live-remote and promotion as well.

Thanks everyone for your donations and amazing support to help our patients and families!
