Employee giving programs
Annual appeals or ongoing payroll deductions allow employees to directly contribute to the health and
well-being of children in our community. Our staff can assist with internal communications by presenting
at your campaign kick-off, providing sample forms, and acknowledging
employee donations.
Children's Memorial is a proud member of the Community Health
Charities of Illinois,
an organization that raises funds for its
members through workplace giving campaigns.

RLCA's Giving Program
RLCA employee and father of two Michael Schenk
says he gives to Children's Memorial through payroll deductions because it
is a cause close to his heart. “It's good to know that if something happened to
one of my kids, they would have access to the best care and technology in
the region,” says Schenk. “But I would contribute even if I was not a dad because
I believe all kids deserve the best when they are sick or injured.”
RLCA encourages employees to decide how their
contributions should benefit the hospital. Schenk and his co-workers chose to
fund a series of sleeper chairs/recliners that allow parents to stay by their
child's bedside. In addition, they supported the Partners
with Parents program, which provides gift
cards to parents
of patients who are of limited financial
means, enabling them to buy groceries, school supplies, medication, etc.
