Thank you for contributing to the effort to make Chicago the healthiest place in the nation for kids. When you give to Children's, you are part of a movement dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Chicago's most precious resource – our children. We are in the midst of one of the most exciting periods in our institution's long and distinguished history. Preparations are underway for our move next June to downtown Chicago, where we will become Ann & Robert H. Laurie Children's Hospital of Chicago!

Through your gift of $1,500 to the Children's Fund, you have ensured that we will be better able to provide the very best medical treatment to kids in our community, both tomorrow and for many years to come. Philanthropy leads to meaningful progress in patient care activities that directly touch young lives; discovering the causes, cures and preventive measures for many childhood diseases; educating the next generation of pediatric specialists; and creating community partnerships and outreach programs to improve the wellbeing of all children.

Lurie Children's is quickly taking shape as the technological, medical wonder, designed with kids in mind, which we have envisioned for many years. It will serve as a catalyst for extraordinary accomplishments that will enhance children's health and we cannot wait for you to see it at our grand opening events next spring.

It is because of you that we are able to change and improve the world for so many children and families. Thanks again for your generous help and support, and best wishes for a healthy and happy holiday season.

Sincerely,
Thomas
