Your support of the AJJ Foundation enlightens every sick child’s heart in many ways. All donations enable the AJJ Foundation to make the extraordinary life of each child more hopeful. We are committed to fundraising for a pediatric hospital that focuses directly on placing the emotional well being and medical care of children first. The AJJ Foundation donates its financial contributions to Children’s Memorial Hospital which is one of the top pediatric hospitals in the nation and ranked number one in Illinois by U.S. News & World Report. Children’s Memorial exists as Illinois’ only freestanding hospital exclusively for pediatrics. Annually, Children’s Memorial treats more than 103,000 children affected by cancer, heart conditions, genetic disorders, orthopedic problems, and many more extremely rare and complex medical conditions.

Children’s Memorial Hospital, which was founded in 1882, continuously seeks the support from various donors to remain at the forefront of the fight against pediatric diseases. Through donor support, Children’s Memorial Hospital is able to make remarkable progress for children with pediatric diseases through the continued support of medical research, patient care and well being. The support provided by donors allows the pediatric hospital to continue as an image of excellence and leadership for children.
