Comer Children's is a destination for pediatric patients and families facing complex medical issues and chronic illnesses such as cancer, epilepsy, and diabetes. Our physicians and scientists are shaping national standards of care and improving the lives of children everywhere.
Contributions from the Bright Night Benefit will support critical programs that touch and improve thousands of young lives each year. These programs would not be possible without philanthropy.
ABOUT THE COMER CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT BOARD
The Comer Children's Development Board is a volunteer board dedicated to raising awareness for Comer Children's, and generating support for the hospital's groundbreaking research and distinctive patient care.
Through its efforts, the board has raised more than $3.7 million for Comer Children's thanks to fundraising events, such as Kids' Fashion Show and the RBC Race for the Kids. This year, the board is hosting a virtual gala called the Bright Night Benefit @Home to celebrate Comer Children's dedication to patient care and community's support of kids in Chicago and beyond.
