We are having our 4th Annual Funding For The Future Dinner Event on October 19th.  This has been a very successful event for us and is widely received and viewed by the public.  This dinner helps raise funds for our non-profit which provides the following:

> Equipment for families with medically fragile children at NO COST that otherwise might not afford it.

> Adopt-A-Family during the holiday season

> Meal & parking vouchers to families in the PICU at Lurie Children's Hospital

> Appreciation luncheon for the doctors & nurses annually at Lurie Children's Hospital

> Giveaways of equipment and or experiences to help enrich the lives of the families we serve

> Quarterly blood drives through our Shed The Red Program

> We also help these families on an as-needed basis

Some of our largest and long time Sponsors have been Smalley, Lynn Fairfield of Re/Max Suburban, BMI Electric, Oakview Pet Resort, Shakes Roofing, RS Enterprises, Lexi Kazien Foundation, Matt Brua of Fairway Mortgage, Jewell Event Catering, Manhard Consulting, and Ladies Inventing For Tomorrow.
