The
Same Agenda each year? You Bet! We're Dedicated and Consistent!
Our
"Traditional" Agenda includes:
- As a component
of our "Readers
Are Leaders Program", we will
donate books to the Stroger County
Hospital,
for children that visit the
clinic. It will allow the Doctors and Nurses to "prescribe" a book to a
sick child. The child will get to take the books home!
- We will supply the Ruth
Rothstein Core Center For Children with AIDS,
books to give to their
children upon their visits. Also, we will have our annual
“Readers Are Leaders” party, in which, the children
will enjoy food, games, entertainment and fun. The children will get to
select books and prizes to take home! This year, the children will
enjoy a visit by Benny the Bull and Yo Go the Clown!
- An Art Center has been
established and will continue to be funded for the pediatric ward at La
Ribida Hospital and John Stroger Hospital. This gives children in the
hospital an opportunity to enjoy art activities during their stay.
- We will hand deliver over
2500 Spring
Easter Baskets to over 25
locations in Northern Illinois. They will be used for children in
residential, foster, clinical and hospital care over the Easter weekend.
- We will make school supply
kits for several food
pantries and school districts during August to
help children in low-income areas. We will hand out over 1000 kits!
- We will have the annual
Aberdeen’s - 100% Foundation Toy Drive
in December. Our
goal is to once again hand deliver thousands of toys to
Chicagoland’s sick and disadvantaged children.
We’ve hand delivered over 50,000 toys to 65 locations since
2003!
- Our Clowning
Around Program was established
to give hospitalized children a reason to smile! Our very own Dr.
Guhzunthit will make the rounds, and delight the children at The
Stroger County Hospital and Mt. Sinai Hospital
on several occasions throughout the year.
- In May, we will sponsor
the annual “Prom” for the families from
the Little
City/Kirk School. This amazing event allows the children and their
parents to attend a formal evening event complete with tuxes, formal
dresses, pictures, food and music at a local banquet hall!
- We will take a
group of
children from the Little City/Kirk School to a Chicago Wolves Hockey
Game.
- In July, we will sponsor a
group of visually impaired children from the IPVI/Lighthouse For The
Blind
to attend a special outing, as over 100 children and their families
will
enjoy a day of fun at the Brookfield
Zoo!
- In August, we will
sponsor the Mid
West Brain Tumor Center/Lutheran General Hospital- annual
“Ped's
In The Weed's” summer
picnic. Over 300 families will attend with children battling various
forms of cancer. We will sponsor portions of the entertainment and
prizes for the children to enjoy. We will make many children smile!
- In November, we will
sponsor our annual trip to the Ringling
Brothers Circus. With the help
of the Rotary Club in Hinsdale/Oakbrook, it has become our tradition to
take 50-60 disabled children from the New
Horizons Center for
the
Disabled for a fun day of
entertainment, food and surprises!
- In December, we will sponsor
a group of special children from the Southside Children’s
Center for
the Disabled to attend a Sinfonietta Music Program at Navy Pier.
- We will hand deliver wish
list supplies to the Lydia House
and Lawrence
Hall children’s
homes and will give art supplies to the Christopher House
in Chicago.
As
you can see, we have dedicated ourselves to maximizing the funding
in the most beneficial and direct way possible. We
pride ourselves in being an organization that literally gives 100%.
All of our programs are annual, and are meant to create a
“tradition” at each organization we sponsor!
We
want “our” children to look forward to our
involvement each year!
