The Elmhurst Hospital Auxiliary will host their 2020 virtual fundraising gala and award ceremony this evening at 6:45 pm. Hosted by Emmy-Award winning actor and New York City native, Keith David, the gala is a tribute to Elmhurst Hospital’s healthcare heroes and essential workers. The gala includes an online auction, performances and awards. You can register free to participate in the event. Be sure to take a look at the array of items included in the auction, from a Tiffany & Co. sterling silver bracelet and Southwest Airline flights to golfing, beautiful works of art and more. Funds raised during the event will go toward the purchase of new equipment and technology that will upgrade inpatient and outpatient areas that require modern upgrades, and also support their frontline healthcare heroes with PPE and other accommodations to keep them and their families safe during medical crises such as COVID-19. During the gala, three local honorees will be recognized for their support, including our own Gina Argento, President and CEO of Broadway Stages, and we could not be more proud.
