The Generosity That Begins In...

Some inspiration as we enter summer! The JC plans events all year long, with our largest event in February, the Snowball Gala. Lots of time and preparation goes into the event - and it starts now with our social events that support Snowball and all the Snowball planning that is about to begin!

We are inspired by Plato's poetic words which reflect the hard work we are putting in now - which turns into an amazing event in February - which in turn becomes our annual donation to the kids at Lurie. Along with Plato's words we're also inspired by Lurie patient Cara's beautiful artwork!

Thank you JC Members, Exec Board, supporters, partners and sponsors for all your generous support throughout the year which makes our donation possible!

Go Blackhawks!! Jonathan Toews Visits the Kids at Lurie

Two things we love: the kids at Lurie Children’s Hospital and the Blackhawks!

Shout out to the Blackhawks after the long, grueling, awesome triple overtime win in game one of the Stanley Cup finals last night.

We’ll be routing the Blackhawks on for the rest of the playoffs and the kids below will too! Thank you Jonathan Toews for visiting the kids at Lurie in April! Check out some great pictures below that capture the children's excitement. Good luck to Jonathan Toews and the Blackhawks during the rest of the Stanley Cup finals! We'll be cheering you on!

Matilda Says 'Go The Whole Hog'

Matilda says it great, "Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. GO THE WHOLE HOG. Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy it's unbelievable..."

As for the JC - we're constantly inspired by the kids at Lurie Children's Hospital and strive to Matilda's message - Let's be outrageous with our fundraising efforts. What we put into it is what we'll get out so with the kids in mind, GO THE WHOLE HOG!
