Hello! Welcome to November’s edition of ShrineLines. This edition features details of our Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator, a holiday campaign run by BLICK supporting Shriners Children’s Chicago, and a patient’s project to give back.

As stated by Stuart Sullivan, Chief Philanthropy Officer “This distinction is further validation that our supporters can trust Shriners Children’s commitment to good governance and financial health, and feel empowered knowing they are making an impactful difference in the lives of children around the world.”

Elijah’s Eagle Scout Service Project

Elijah, current Eagle Scout and scoliosis patient, completed a service project benefitting Shriners Children’s Chicago. Elijah created Hope & Hugs Care Packages for pediatric spine surgery patients. These care packages included blankets, water bottles, fuzzy socks, and more. He even created a QR code for patients to learn about his journey and share their stories.
