Dear Friend, Welcome and thank you for joining us for the inaugural “Auction for the Creative Arts” hosted by Primitive Gallery. Children’s Memorial Hospital has taken a ground-breaking approach to enhancing the healing environment in our new state of the art facility, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Twenty-three of Chicago’s leading civic and cultural organizations are partnering with Children’s, using their talents to create a calming atmosphere that will also inspire patients and families to explore and discover what makes Chicago unique. A percentage of your purchases through tonight’s “Auction for the Creative Arts” will benefit the Creative Arts Program at Lurie Children’s, enabling the hospital to offer live performances, maintain and refresh art exhibits, and provide educational activities for children and families in collaboration with our Community Partners. We are most grateful for your support of this effort. Lurie Children’s opens on June 9, 2012. We would be delighted to arrange a behind-the-scenes hard hat tour of Lurie Children’s for you. If you would like to join us for this unique and interesting opportunity, we will find a time that is convenient for you in the coming weeks. Contact Tom Flynn at 773.880.8175 or tflynn@childrensmemorial.org to schedule a tour. On behalf of the Children’s Memorial Hospital’s Creative Arts Advisory Council and Primitive Gallery, thanks again for your interest in tonight’s program and your support of the Creative Arts Program at Lurie Children’s.
