EMH Foundation’s Autumn Affair rescheduled for Nov. 19

The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital (EMH) Foundation’s 17th Annual Autumn Affair has been rescheduled for Friday, Nov. 19 at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, 120 E. Delaware Place in Chicago. The gala was originally scheduled to be held Sept. 11 but was postponed due to the current surge in COVID-19 cases.

The Nov. 19 event will begin at 6 p.m. with cocktails and silent auction, followed by dinner, live auction and dancing, with music provided by The DJ Firm. For those who wish to attend virtually, a live video stream of the event will be available.

The Autumn Affair is the Foundation's largest fundraiser of the year and supports Elmhurst Hospital programs and services that directly impact patients. A portion of the proceeds from the event will support Elmhurst Hospital's Nursing Program, including new equipment to keep nurses and patients safe, and education and recertification in order to deliver the highest level of care.

A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available, tables of ten or individual tickets can be purchased, and individuals and businesses can donate items for the silent and live auctions. In addition, the gala will feature a wine pull and a wide variety of unique experiences, including travel, sports and dining.
