The second annual Road Full of Promise fundraiser The second annual Road Full of Promise fundraiser benefiting the @med13lfoundation is coming up Saturday, Jan. 24 at @joesrosemont 

Last year’s event — with 500+ guests and more than $250,000 raised — was a tremendous success for pediatric research benefiting MED13L. Now the goal is to help reach even more families, continue funding critical research, and bring hope to children with MED13L Syndrome around the world.

Join the Boychuck family and the community of Park Ridge for an unforgettable evening of music, community and purpose. 

For more information, tickets and donations, head to RoadFullOfPromise.com
