Mom has been a proud member of the Comer Development Board since 2019.  This dynamic group of professionals collaborate in raising awareness and money for UChicago Medicine's Comer Children's Hospital.  She has co-chaired The Bright Night Benefit in previous years, and we run the Comer 5K race each Fall.   

Please join us in reaching our collective goal.

My family is passionate about Comer Children's Hospital because it provides life saving (and more routine) clinical care to children across Chicago, including children in our most under-served communities.  We have the only Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center on the South Side.

At the same time, Comer Children's attracts top medical talent and patients from across the globe due to its ground-breaking medical research and highly ranked specialists.

All money raised from the Bright Night Benefit: will fund critical patient care programs that would not be possible but for this funding.  Examples include NuRoo's provided to new mothers, Art Therapy for patients in hospital for a long term stay, and most poignantly, bereavement support for grieving families.  

I hope you agree that all children deserve these types of programs when faced with medical challenges, just like you would expect this type of care for your own family.  We have chosen a peer to peer campaign for 2022 as our extended hospital community is still not able to meet safely in a live event fundraiser format.
