Fall In Bloom

Illini Hospital Foundation Holds Annual Fundraiser

Illini Hospital Foundation will hold its annual fall fundraiser, Fall In Bloom, on September 19 and 20. 

A colorful array of hand-blown original glass flowers crafted by artists of Glass Impact in Rock Island will be on display and available for purchase. "Each uniquely designed bloom is numbered and signed by the artist," said Ramona Zude, event organizer. The proceeds from the sale of these flowers will go toward the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment for Illini Hospital. 

The fundraiser will be held from 10 am - 7 pm, on Thursday, September 19 and from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm, on Friday, September 20, inside the main entrance of Illini Hospital, 801 Hospital Road, Silvis. For more information about this event call the Illini Foundation office at 309-792-6395.
