The Founders’ Board of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago hosted its annual Winter Wishes Holiday Cocktail Celebration, presented by Packaging Corporation of America and Sterling Bay. More than 425 guests filled a private club in Chicago’s Gold Coast for a festive evening benefiting the Edwards Family Division of Genetics and Rare Diseases and the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Co-chaired by Nicole Scheer Barry and Anne Edwards, alongside Founders’ Board President Margie Stineman, the event set a fundraising record — bringing in $638,602 toward the Board’s three-year, $3 million commitment. foundersboard.luriechildrens.org
