Corporate Champions
Corporate Champions play a crucial role in Lurie Children’s ability to provide the best possible medical care for our patients.
As a nonprofit medical center, we rely on philanthropy to make advancements in care, invest in leading-edge research and support families. Through their partnerships with Lurie Children’s, Corporate Champions help lead the way in pediatric healthcare and make it possible for us to create unique programs, expand our facilities and make research discoveries leading to life-transforming cures.
In recognition of this support, Lurie Children’s provides customized and meaningful partnership opportunities—including unique year-round engagement—that help Corporate Champions achieve their business goals while making an impact on kids and families.
Corporate Champions Social ToolkitStories of Support
NRG created their Choose to Give program as a way to showcase their dedication to enhancing the communities they serve. Illinois electricity and natural gas customers have the option to enroll in this program; for every customer that signs up, NRG makes a $50 contribution for electricity and a $25 contribution for natural gas, plus ongoing annual contributions of 1% of the customers’ supply charges. Lurie Children’s as a beneficiary was able to direct these contributions to the areas of greatest need as well as other areas that NRG has a passion for. s a result of the success of this program, NRG has committed more than $4M to Lurie Children’s and named the Chicago Institute for Fetal Health Family Lounge and 15th Floor Elevator Lobby.
As one of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ largest national corporate partners, Costco Wholesale has supported Lurie Children’s since 1998 and has raised more than $21 million in support of our hospital’s mission to create a healthier future for every child.
