20th Annual Goombay Bash Presented by Becknell Industrial
2022-07-23 17:00 - 23:00 (America/Chicago) | Aon Grand Ballroom at Navy Pier, 600 E Grand Ave, Chicago, Illinois, 60601
The H Foundation and the Goombay Bash were created over a cocktail called the Goombay Smash. It started with a few friends with entrepreneurial spirit who decided to make a difference in the fight against cancer. In 2001, we threw our first Goombay Bash under the disguise of a casual Caribbean-style festival. Since then, the Goombay Bash has grown to become the largest basic science cancer research fundraising event in Chicago!
It’s a party with meaning, but it is also the party of the summer. We host 1,000+ guests at Chicago’s Navy Pier at a tropical party where everyone wears Hawaiian shirts and leis while raising money for cancer research. Since 2001, The H Foundation has raised over $10 million donating nearly every dollar raised to the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. These funds are used as seed money for basic science cancer research projects to help them compete for additional government or private funding.
As a result, our donations have been leveraged into over $153 million of research dollars towards finding a cure. The H Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 100% of our funding comes from donations by generous businesses, communities, families, individuals, and…from you.

The Lazarex 5.44K is a great way to be active and contribute to a worthy cause! Help cancer patients continue to travel to their treatments for the best outcome possible.
WHY 5.44K? We chose 5.44K (3.38 miles) because our patients travel an average of 544 miles RT for their cancer treatments. Your participation will raise funds for the programs and patients of Lazarex Cancer Foundation.
LAZAREX PATIENTS CAN REGISTER FOR FREE (contact Tami@lazarex.org). https://lazarex544k.flipcause.com/
REASONS TO DO THE LAZAREX 5.44K: Especially now we need to ensure that the cancer patients we serve can continue to afford to get to their treatments.

2022-01-27 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Remote
Following a cancer diagnosis, there are many factors patients, their families, and caregivers must manage. This includes treatment decisions and rearranging family or work obligations.

Thoughtfully planning for themselves and their loved ones allows those impacted by cancer to create a sense of relief, and hope, around those unanswered questions. The Purpose in Planning Coping Circle Series will address these issues by providing both educational information on finances and planning as well as emotional guidance to people affected by cancer.
This event is presented in partnership with CancerCare and sponsored by Eisai.
