Dan Heagy

Dan Heagy was the Executive Vice President & Creative Director at Leo Burnett Advertising in Chicago for 28 years. He crafted highly-awarded advertising for an array of clients including Kellogg’s cereals, RCA color TV, Miller Lite beer, Oldsmobile, Hewlett-Packard, and many others. He brought his unique sensitivity, special human insight, and wit to every project he worked on, creating some of the most enjoyable Pillsbury Doughboy commercials of all time.

Dan and his wife Sherry—who was an English and Speech teacher for Lemont School District—donated to Northern Illinois Food Bank for several years; after Sherry passed away in 2012 following an illness, Dan named the Food Bank as a beneficiary of his IRA.

We are immensely grateful to the Heagys for thinking of the Food Bank, and for their generosity in helping provide meals to our neighbors who face food insecurity throughout our 13-county service area.
