Wish List Auxiliary

The Wish List Auxiliary is dedicated to providing for the emotional and psychological needs of the children currently under the care of Children's Memorial. Since its inception more than 20 years ago, The Wish List Auxiliary has raised more than $1 million to fund supplies, materials and equipment for Children's Memorial patients and their families.

Other initiatives that the Wish List supports include Heartlight, a support group that helps children cope with the passing of a sibling; Project Open Book, which distributes over 1,600 books to outpatients each month; tutoring services; communication devices and computers, toys, games, books and education equipment for the playrooms in the hospital; and Skylight TV, which supplies internal TV child-oriented programming for the hospital's patients.

On Friday, October 3, 2008 the Wish List Auxiliary will host its 25th Annual Playdough Palooza at the Chicago Cultural Center.  More details to follow soon.
