2020 Campaign & Children’s Ball

For 61 years, the Children’s Research Fund has presented the Children’s Ball, an annual celebration of fundraising to provide essential funding for medical research, currently in support of the Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and before that at Michael Reese Hospital.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has forced a change in the way we operate as individuals and organizations, our vision that research is an essential investment that strengthens our community remains unchanged. In the interest of prioritizing our donors’ safety, we will not be seeing you in person at the Hilton Chicago on December 12, 2020.

Instead, we hope you will join us for the 2020 Children’s Research Fund Campaign. We will introduce you to some of our top researchers, resilient patients, and share impactful stories of how, with supporters like you, the Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute continues to work toward a healthier future, for every child.  To opt into the 2020 Campaign communications or to make a donation, please email Valerie Stokes at vastokes@luriechildrens.org.
