The H Foundation’s Goombay Bash • July 26th

Jun 26, 2025 | Current, Events & Notices

As if supporting an amazing organization fighting cancer wasn’t enough, wouldn’t you love meeting the celebrity guest of honor, Rob Lowe?

The H Foundation hosts the Goombay Bash, a fundraising event under the disguise of a casual Caribbean-style party. The H Foundation and the Goombay Bash were created over a cocktail called the Goombay Smash. It started with a few friends with entrepreneurial spirit who decided to make a difference in the fight against cancer. In 2001, they threw their first Goombay Bash. Since then, the Goombay Bash has grown to become one of the largest and liveliest cancer research fundraising events in Chicago! This year’s event will be held at the AON Grand Ballroom @ Navy Pier on Saturday, July 26th.

H Foundation donations have been leveraged into over $280 million of research dollars towards finding a cure. The H Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 100% of our funding comes from donations by generous businesses, communities, families, individuals, and…from you.
