‘Hope Grows’ at the Wellness House Ball
Hope Grows at the Wellness House Ball where over 500 guests will join together on Saturday, Oct. 19, at The Old Post Office in Chicago for one of the year's most anticipated events.
The annual Wellness House Ball, “Hope Grows,” provides critical funds to further the mission of free cancer support providing hope for individuals and families throughout the Chicago area.
Nearly 4,000 individuals made 45,813 visits last year to in-person and online programs in areas such as nutrition, exercise, stress management, support and counseling and child and family services. Anyone can attend Wellness House programs no matter where they get their medical treatment. Free cancer support programs are presented at the main location in Hinsdale and other partner locations including UIHealth at Mile Square Health Center, Rush University Medical Center, and Loyola Medicine’s Cardinal Bernardine Cancer Center.
This year’s Co-Chairs Pamela and George Pontikis and Katie and Michael Isadore are leading the charge to present a memorable evening recognizing the many ways that Wellness House makes an impact on people with cancer. Cocktails and dinner will be followed by a live auction and paddle raise, along with a moving story sharing the experiences of Wellness House participants. To cap off this evening of impact, Deja Vu will provide live music with dancing until midnight.
Guests will experience a sense of community, hope and shared purpose amid a verdant backdrop and gorgeous decor in the marbled art deco space of The Old Post Office. The annual Wine Cellar will also offer a variety of fixed price wines available for purchase in advance, delivered directly to your table and enjoyed at the event. Can’t make the Ball?

Since then, nearly 50,000 people have been impacted by Wellness House. Wellness House envisions a community where all people affected by cancer thrive. Offered at no cost, and as a complement to medical treatment, Wellness House programs educate, support and empower participants so they will improve their physical and emotional well-being.
