The Giving Season during December 2025 helped Colleen Cares fulfill the Amazon wish list for the children at Lurie Children’s Hospital. These gifts created smiles and feelings of being cared for that really do help healing.

Plans for the summer Camp Colleen event have started, and we need volunteers at various Ronald McDonald Houses in Chicagoland to prepare dinner on camp day, Thursday, June 27. Your physical or monetary support is vital to the success of this annual event.

Colleen’s love and relentless passion to do good is what continues to serve as an inspiration and guiding source of love and light to us everyday.

Thank you for giving from your hearts this holiday season. The children’s smiles and heart hope research at Lurie Children’s Hospital are reminders of what fueled Colleen, especially during the holidays.
