“It is a privilege to raise funds for NorthShore Highland Park Hospital and continue the rich tradition started by our Auxiliary predecessors over 90 years ago,” says Abbe Silverberg Sparks, president of The Auxiliary at NorthShore Highland Park Hospital. “With the support of our Auxiliary members, the Highland Park community, and surrounding neighborhoods and towns that the Hospital serves, we can help ensure that world-class healthcare continues to thrive at our community Hospital.”
To help further the mission of The Auxiliary’s Annual Appeal, 2nd Street Bistro and 2nd Street Enoteca in Highland Park will graciously donate 15% of every dinner bill on Wednesday, August 15 from 5:00 p.m. till closing.
