Philanthropy

Hello Delegates,

My name is Elliot Keske, and I am honored to be running LSCMUN III’s Philanthropy initiative this fall. This year, LSCMUN is raising funds for The Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. As a premier Chicago institution, Lurie Children’s ranks as #1 among all pediatric care centers in Illinois and among the top in the nation. We are incredibly proud to be partnering with them for this conference.

What makes Lurie Children’s truly exceptional is its top-tier ranking backed by world-class facilities and deeply dedicated personnel. Through their foundational CARE system—which integrates Clinical care, Advocacy, Research, and Education—Lurie Children’s sets a standard of excellence for medical institutions worldwide. At the heart of this system is a commitment to holistic care. Their comprehensive support network includes on-site teachers, multidisciplinary therapists, full-time interpreters, year-round research summits, and specialized staff trained in pediatric transportation, medicine, and nutrition… all of whom you support with your contributions.

Over the past 140+ years since Lurie’s founding, it has also served as a beacon of hope to other Pediatric Hospitals across the United States. With your support, we can ensure that Lurie’s doesn’t just set the standard for pediatric care, but also provides that same care as a lifeline for Chicagoans and countless other families. Your contributions will also fund critical research to help the nearly 700 patients treated every day through the Stanley Manne Research Institute. 

As one of the few freestanding pediatric research centers in the United States, the Manne Research Institute clears the path for scientific breakthroughs that maximize patient outcomes. The Stanley Manne Institute ensures the work isn’t just done once patients get to go home… It starts before the next patient even arrives.

I look forward to joining you all in this important mission this fall. Your dedication over the course of the conference will play a vital role in supporting the families and researchers at Lurie Children’s. 

More details about the fundraising effort will be shared on the day of the conference, and I cannot wait to see how much impact we can make together.

Thank you for your support of this year’s philanthropy initiative, and I wish you all the best of luck in your committees.
