For Chicago. For every child.

Chicago has a well-earned reputation as the home of hard-working, big-hearted people. After all, this is the city that turned an entire river around, that built itself back from ashes. We know what it means to embody resilience, determination, and community spirit. At Lurie Children's, we live that same spirit, day in and day out.

We see it in our doctors, nurses, scientists, volunteers and donors. Most of all, it’s in the kids we care for. We see amazing things happen every day. And for one day each year, we take time to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished and to recognize all that still needs to be done.

June 9 is Lurie Children’s Day, presented by Jewel-Osco. Let’s take a moment to illuminate this city in our love and light. Then, let’s get back to work. The kids are counting on us to do big things. And we’re just getting started.

A Thriving City Starts with Healthy Kids

When kids are healthy and thriving, families are more stable, neighborhoods are safer, and the fabric of our city is stronger. Healthy kids are the cornerstone of a thriving community. By investing in their health today, we pave the way for a brighter, more prosperous Chicago tomorrow.

Children from underserved neighborhoods often face disproportionate barriers to quality healthcare, leading to chronic illnesses and compromised futures. By prioritizing children's health and taking meaningful steps towards addressing inequities, we can ensure every child in Chicago can lead a healthy, fulfilling life. Your gift on Lurie Children’s Day supports our Access for Every Child fund, helping to give more kids access to critical health care.

They need us. We need you.

Lurie Children’s was founded on a simple vision: to care for sick children irrespective of race, creed and ability to pay. Today, we live that legacy by serving as a nonprofit, safety net hospital. Nearly 60% of our patient population is underinsured. What does that mean? It means we need you. ALL of you. Donations allow us provide care and support to every child, regardless of their ability to pay. Whether you donate, join our walk or host a fundraiser, you’re helping brighten the future for every child.
