Nearly 850 guests rubbed shoulders with an all-star lineup of past and present Chicago sports greats at the fourth annual Champions for Children’s to benefit Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, held November 8, 2012 at the Hilton Chicago. The event was a one-of-a-kind evening celebrating Chicago’s professional sports teams and individual athletes who come together to support one very important cause - our children. This year the Champions for Children’s Award was presented to Charles and Jackie Tillman and the Champions for Children’s Corporate Award to Ace Hardware in recognition of their commitment to the health and well-being of Chicago’s children.

Please save-the-date for the 2013 Champions for Children's to be held the evening of Friday, November 1st at the Hilton Chicago.

Thank you to our 2012 Champion’s for Children’s sponsors!
