Holiday Giving & Donations
The holidays are a time for light, joy, and generosity, and there are so many ways you can make spirits bright for kids at Lurie Children’s. Every gift, every toy, every act of kindness helps children and families feel cared for and supported during the holidays and beyond.
Thank you for your generosity!
Make a Holiday Campaign Gift
Your holiday gift this year brings comfort and joy to kids in the hospital by funding critical programs like art and music therapy, hospital school, pet therapy, and chaplain support. These services aren’t covered by insurance and rely almost entirely on philanthropy. And, your gift will be matched until 12/31, doubling your impact.
Shop Our Holiday Gift Guide
This holiday season, our Feel Good Gifts holiday guide makes it easy to give in a way that truly matters. From toys that brighten hospital stays to therapy resources that bring calm and confidence, each item is a symbolic gift that supports a real service, resource, or moment of connection for children and families.
Start a Virtual Toy Drive Fundraiser
Help fill hospital rooms with cheer this holiday season! Starting a virtual toy drive is an easy way to send games, books, and toys directly to patients spending the holidays at Lurie Children’s. It's also a great way to fundraise together as a family or organization. You can easily create and personalize an online fundraising page to share with friends and family.
Donate Toys & Gifts
Receiving age-appropriate toys allows us to create a better and brighter healing environment for our patients. If you would like to make a donation, please email us at donations@luriechildrens.org. Please note that we are only able to accept new and unopened items and no cloth donations (clothing, plush items, blankets, etc.). We also accept donations through our Amazon Wish Lists. Our staff curates these lists based on the current needs of patients and families, and the items are shipped directly to us.
