The fifth annual LHL FUNraiser is officially in the books, and we thank you all for helping to make it a success!

Special Shout Out. During one of the most important parts of the evening, we experienced technical difficulties with Charlotte's Story when it stopped halfway through the video.  After a few moments of silence, Charlotte's dad, Scott Green stepped up on stage (unprepared) and delivered one of the best speeches we have heard. It was so powerful and emotional people thought it was planned. We can assure you it was not!  Thank you Scott, for stealing the show!

We were lucky to have the evening captured by talented and generous Halo Fine Art Studio.

We held our first annual LHL Program Family Holiday Party at Lurie Children’s Hospital. It was an absolutely wonderful event attended by 13 out of 19 program families. The event was also attended by Lurie Children’s medical, care coordination, and foundation teams. And no event would be complete without all three of our wonderful care coordinators.

The event was better than we could have imagined. It was intimate and personal. The Lurie’s team provided lunch, hot chocolate, treats, and games for the patient siblings. We were most encouraged to see families bond with one another. There is great comfort in knowing you are not alone on this journey and the party provided an opportunity for all our families to connect.

The true generosity and spirit of our organization was symbolized by the gifts that a few of our board members provided to our patients, and their siblings. In total, gifts were provided for 28 kids ranging from ages 0 – 18 years old. The families were overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.

Thanks to all the families who made it to the party and gave us an unforgettable experience. We wish a wonderful holiday to all our program families, our supporters, and the team at Lurie Children’s Hospital.
