Brothers McMurray Holiday Fundraiser: Rise Above Cancer
Advertisement
This holiday season, we’re taking celebration, community, and purpose to the absolute top of the Chicago skyline.
Join the Brothers McMurray Family Charity on the 99th floor of the iconic Willis Tower for an unforgettable evening high above the glittering city lights. What began years ago as a humble holiday vision by Ed McMurray has grown into one of Chicago’s most heartfelt annual traditions—driven by the resilience of four McMurray siblings (Mary, Dave, Jon, and Mark), all proud cancer survivors.
When you step off the elevator into Skydeck Chicago, you aren’t just arriving at a premier holiday party; you’re standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a community united in purpose. Every toast, every dance, and every ticket directly funds pioneering cancer research, life-saving clinical trials, and compassionate patient care.
Come celebrate survival, honor loved ones, and help us illuminate the path toward a cure.
