WELLNESS HOUSE BALL

The Wellness House Ball: Timeless brought together hundreds of guests for an unforgettable evening of elegance, generosity, and community in support of people living with cancer. Held Saturday, October 18, at the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel in Chicago, the celebration marked a milestone year as Wellness House honored 35 years of hope, healing, and connection. The evening was one of the most successful fundraising events in the organization’s history, reflecting the extraordinary generosity of the Wellness House community. From the moment guests entered the jade and gold ballroom honoring the organization’s anniversary, the night radiated warmth, gratitude, and purpose. Guests enjoyed a lively cocktail reception, an exquisite dinner, a moving participant story, a heartfelt paddle raise, and dancing late into the night with the band Deja Vu. “It was a beautiful evening and a stunning show of support from our community,” said Lisa Kolavennu, CEO of Wellness House. “Every gift made that night ensures that when someone hears the words, ‘You have cancer,’ they’ll also hear, ‘And there’s a place that can help.’” The Ball was co-chaired by Angie and Wes Breton and Drs. Carrie and Vijay Thangamani. Their leadership, along with a dedicated committee, staff, and volunteers, made the milestone celebration truly Timeless. wellnesshouse.org
