Since 1996, an Annual Benefit Luncheon has supported the education and advocacy efforts of the Myra Rubenstein Weis (MRW) Health Resource Center. The MRW Executive Committee is the dedicated group of individuals who organize this incredible fundraiser.
The MRW Health Resource Center honors the vibrant life and legacy of Myra Rubenstein Weis, a beloved member of the Highland Park community who valiantly fought breast cancer for 10 years until the disease claimed her life in 1990. Established by Myra’s family and friends, the Resource Center supports free health education and cancer survivorship programs in the NorthShore Hospitals community.
The MRW Health Resource Center’s Annual Benefit Luncheon supports the Myra Rubenstein Weis Living in the Future (LIFE) Cancer Survivorship Program.
