The Evergreen Invitational Grants: Hosted by MK Pritzker and The Woman’s Board of Northwestern Memorial Hospital every two years between 2010 and 2016, the Evergreen Invitational was a premier event that brought the excitement and pageantry of equestrian Grand Prix show jumping to the greater Chicagoland area. Proceeds from the events funded world-class women’s health programs at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and its community partners.

$5.5 million was raised from the Evergreen Invitational events supporting 87 projects and programs, bringing new, innovative healthcare ideas to Northwestern Medicine.
