Becoming an annual family event, this quacking is all about raising funds for Hospice of Northeastern Illinois. HNI, celebrating its 10th anniversary of service, provided care to over 900 patients and 1800 family members in the past year. A very worthy cause, being financially assisted by a very fun event.
