100% of all pledges raised through the Kohl’s Step Up for Kids will be directed to the hospital's Family Services Department

You can search for participants and make a donation to one or more of them to support their fundraising efforts on behalf of Children's Memorial Hospital! If you know a participant, but don't see them on the list, please contact them and ask that they send you a link to their personal fundraising page. You can also print and mail in this printable donation form.

How will the funds I raise help children and their families?

Your participation supports the fundraising efforts of K.I.D.S.S. for Kids, an Affiliated Organization of Children’s Memorial Hospital and the largest donor to the hospital’s Family Services Department. Family Services address the developmental, social and emotional needs of hospitalized children and their families through:

  • Social workers, child life specialists, activity coordinators, interpreters and chaplains.
  • The Janice and Kimberly Brown Family Life Center, a medical-free play area for patients, siblings and families offering books, games, activities and toys.
  • Kohl’s House, a residence for pediatric transplant patients and their families.
  • Skylight TV, the hospital’s own onsite TV Station with live programming for patients.

…and much more!

Nearly all Family Services programs and staff are funded by philanthropy. Your contributions help ensure that these vital programs are available to the more than 126,000 children and families who rely on Children’s Memorial each year.

  • $50 provides play therapy for patients during MRIs and other in-patient procedures $75 Funds an afternoon of play activities in the hospital clinics

Together we can continue to save and improve lives!
