GivingTuesday

December 3, 2024

On GivingTuesday, your gift supports the patients and families at Lurie Children's. Every donation helps give kids like Aidan a brighter future.

Aidan needed a new kidney — and his mother, Christine, was a perfect match. Post-transplant, Aidan has enjoyed great health but he will require ongoing care and, most likely, future transplants, which is why your continued support is so important. 

Our good friends at Panda Express have agreed to match every gift given to our GivingTuesday campaign before midnight on December 3, 2024. Every dollar you give will do 2X as much for kids like Aidan who face serious medical conditions.

What is GivingTuesday and when is it?

GivingTuesday is a national campaign that was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

GivingTuesday occurs on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. The next GivingTuesday is on Dec. 3, 2024. 

What are some Giving Tuesday participation ideas?

  • Donate: Make a donation to celebrate GivingTuesday and kick off the season of giving. When you give to Lurie Children’s on GivingTuesday, we use your gift to support families and kids when they need it most.

  • Encourage others: GivingTuesday started as a national movement to inspire giving. After you give, encourage others to get involved by sharing your participation using #GivingTuesday and tag @luriechildrens to share your support. Together, we can make a big impact!

  • Purchase a Feel Good Gift: This holiday season celebrate the people you love with a gift that changes lives. When you purchase a Feel Good Gift, you make the holidays happier for a patient or family and give a loved one a memorable gift. Each gift comes with a free e-card sharing the impact of your donation.

  • Start a Virtual Toy Drive: For families that spend long hours at Lurie Children's, toys and games help bring joy and fun during a difficult time. When you start a virtual toy drive fundraiser, your friends and family can make a monetary donation to your online fundraising page instead of donating a physical item.  Learn more about starting a Virtual Toy Drive fundraiser for Lurie Children’s.

How is my GivingTuesday donation used at Lurie Children's?

Your generous GivingTuesday donation will be directed to our hospital's greatest area of need. Your contribution will help provide the most advanced care, drive groundbreaking research, expand our reach to serve more patients in need and provide support services that insurance doesn’t cover and families never receive a bill for. With your gift, you become a vital partner in our commitment to delivering comprehensive, compassionate care to every child who walks through our doors.

Here are some of our most urgent needs this season:

Family-Focused Care

  • Art and music therapy programs to aid in healing and emotional well-being
  • School liaison services to help patients keep up with their education

Urgent Research

  • Funding for promising medical studies to develop better treatments
  • Supporting innovative projects that may not qualify for traditional grants

Facilities Expansion

  • Upgrading medical equipment and technology
  • Improving patient and family spaces to enhance comfort and care
