The 2025 Breakthrough Ball
Gala Invitation Design
The Breakthrough Board raises funds to support breakthroughs in cancer research at UChicago Medicine by hosting annual gala events. Ogilvy presented the theme of ‘Wonder’ for the 2025 ball at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago. “Navigating Our Way to Breakthroughs,” showcased enchanting magic of the night sky. Like celestial explorers, we embarked on an evening of discovery, celebrating the boundless possibilities unlocked by gifted cancer researchers. Their dedicated quest to unravel cancer’s mysteries light our path.
I designed the invitation set, which was printed with gold foil and inspired by deep optimism, empowering us to embrace the unknown and collectively propel the future of medicine forward.
