And they're counting on us to be there for them. By investing in their health and well-being, we impact the quality of their future in the most positive and direct way. For that reason, Children’s Memorial has launched an historic effort to advance the level of care we can offer Chicago’s children. Together, we will create the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and support the people, programs and research needed to give generations of children access to new treatments, new cures and new hope for the future. With that goal in mind, we are pleased to announce Heroes for Life — the most ambitious fundraising campaign on behalf of pediatric medicine and science in our nation's history. 

You can be a hero for children - join the campaign today!
