Celebrating seven years and more than 7,000 patients pampered nationwide—supporters and socialites were in attendance for Simply From The Heart’s (SFTH) annual gala. The evening took place at Drury Lane in Oak Brook and included a silent auction, live music by the Kathern Lachey Band, a burlesque show by bimbamburly, and a speakeasy VIP lounge with third generation cigar roller Don Alejandro. Guests sipped on 1920s inspired cocktails sponsored by CH Distillery and hors d’oeuvres, all while they took in a floor performance by cancer survivor Eva Blaser and heard a beautiful testimonial by outpatient Juliana Torres and leading world-renowned Pediatric Hematologist oncologist Dr. Paul Kent, who has been standing behind SFTH’s mission since inception. One lucky winner walked away with a BMW motorcycle during this evening of charitable glam. From bedside to curbside, check out SFTH’s 1958 vintage Ford van—fittingly named “Kurbside” Step Van.
