Wilmette's Joanie Bayhack Dances for a Difference

Wilmette resident Joanie Bayhack will host a benefit BeMoved class to support Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Malnati Brain Tumor Institute (MBTI) on Friday, June 4 at 2:00 PM in the stunning outdoor Chief O'Neill's Beer Garden, 3471 N. Elston in Chicago. For a $25 donation, you will enjoy a fabulous - and safe - BeMoved dance-fitness-experience and a casual reception will follow. As we recover from COVID, this dance class is one of the creative ways Joanie is contributing to MBTI's Annual Cancer Celebration "Walk."

"Ten years ago my boyfriend's daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Last November she and her husband had to a beautiful daughter," said Bayhack. "I got an inside look at the MBTI's compassionate care, talented integrated medical team, and steadfast patient support. Every dollar raised will go to research, clinical trials and groundbreaking treatment.

"Chief O'Neill Owners Siobhan and Brendon McKinney always raise their hand to help the community," said Bayhack. "The McKinney's are Chicago treasures. Not only is the venue amazing, but the food and drinks are off the charts...I am so blessed to know them." said Bayhack.

Bayhack currently teaches BeMoved (virtually) for the Braille Institute of America and in person at the Wilmette Park District at Mallinckrodt. Her class is a full-body workout, easy to follow and designed for dancers of all levels.
