| The annual Medicine Ball, this year entitled “Supper In the City,” sponsored by The Women’s Board of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) was held at the InterContinental Hotel, 505 North Michigan Ave. Grammy Award-winning and two-time Emmy nominee Steve Tyrell performed at a black concert grand piano. Among his songs in his repertoire: It Had To be You, Give Me the Simple Life and The Way You Look Tonight. The evening’s décor highlighted the cabaret theme -- palm branches were placed about the room, tables were dressed in persimmon colored taffeta and the centerpieces featured apricot roses, orange and green orchids, a host of candles plus a sparkling fiber optic curtain behind the stage welcomed the guests that numbered almost 400. Sponsorships were very strong this year as was the Fund-a-Need Appeal which will benefit RIC’s robust clinical research initiative to integrate innovative research into clinical care. Projected profit from the Medicine Ball is between $400,000 to $500,000. |
