Throughout October, Komen Chicago raised more than $600,000 during this year’s Breast Cancer Action Month.
These funds come in large part from Komen Chicago’s 2018 Gala—an Oct. 27 event with the theme “The Greatest Show Under the Big Pink Top”—and corporate partners Jewel-Osco and Rivers Casino, both of whom received the Susan G. Komen Corporate Award.
Emmy Award winning anchor and breast-cancer survivor Roz Varon hosted the gala, which featured appearances from celebrities Miranda Rae Mayo (Chicago Fire), Annie Ilonzeh (Chicago Fire) and Andre Royo (Empire).
