About Goombay

The Goombay Bash is organized by the H Foundation, a not-for-profit group of people united by the common goal to make a difference in the fight against cancer.

Since its inception in 2001, the H Foundation has raised over $13 million in to fund basic science cancer research.

The Event

The Goombay Bash was created by several friends with entrepreneurial spirit who decided to make a difference in the fight against cancer. In 2001, we threw our first Goombay Bash under the guise of a casual Caribbean-style festival. Since then, Goombay Bash has grown to become one of the largest and liveliest cancer research fundraising events in Chicago, hosting over 1,000 guests! All proceeds benefit Basic Science Cancer Research at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University.
