3rd District Cook County Commissioner Bill Lowry and Stroger Hospital staffers will be joined by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, various elected officials, and community leaders in a show of love, compassion and goodwill towards the children currently hospitalized at Stroger Hospital. In collaboration with various generous sponsors, Stroger Hospital will display toys purchased for the children’s unit at Stroger Hospital.
Commissioner Lowry, who also serves as the Cook County Hospital System Chairman of the Board of Directors, wants this heartwarming initiative to bring bundles of joy to hospitalized children during the holiday season, offering a plethora of gifts ranging from toys to electronics. It is a special moment where the essence of giving takes center stage, igniting smiles and spreading the season’s spirit.
“This event is a beacon of hope and joy for these children, many of whom face serious health challenges. Bringing a moment of happiness during the holidays is a privilege beyond words. We are hopeful that once these toys are delivered to these impacted youth, a gleam will appear in their eyes which will justify the true meaning of compassion and community. I am thankful to our sponsors, officials, and volunteers who have helped make this possible,” says Commissioner Lowry.
The beneficiaries of this grand gesture are children who are either underprivileged or battling chronic illnesses. The event was coordinated to capture the essence of creating magical moments for these young souls. From plush toys to interactive electronics, a diverse array of gifts has been carefully curated to cater to each child’s preferences and needs. Commissioner Lowry holds this event close to his heart as one of the most significant highlights of the year and hopes this event will bring each child just a bit of joy.
Local officials, including Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, will join Commissioner Lowry. Additionally, the unwavering support of sponsors and supporters has been instrumental in achieving success with acquiring an array of toy options for children.
