Child's Play

THE PARTY The Founders’ Board of Children’s Memorial Hospital hosted its inaugural Children’s Celebrates Chicago pre-holiday party at the Museum of Contemporary Art. THE SCENE Co-chaired by Margie Stineman, Lisa Coleman and Eve Rogers, the cocktail party included a silent auction and bites by Wolfgang Puck. People who bought “virtual tables” received a VIP tour of the hospital before the event, and families of Children’s Hospital patients told their amazing stories. THE BOTTOM LINE The event raised nearly $170,000 in support of the new Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, opening in June 2012. Photography by Bob Carl
