welcome and dinner will begin at 5:45 p.m. The program will feature

Proceeds from the event benefit the Sharing Wishes Fund, which
provides "an extra-special touch that hospice patients and families
appreciate at a very challenging time in their lives," said Elena
Kezelis, the foundation's executive director.
"In its first year, the Sharing Wishes Fund made the wishes of
many hospice patients become a reality, from taking a modest family
trip to seeing a favorite band at the Illinois State Fair to riding
in a hot-air balloon," Kezelis said. "We look forward to continuing
to make a difference in people's lives through this fund."
