The name-change announcement was made after the regularly scheduled board meeting and in conjunction with the launching of the public phase of the Capital Campaign, which is set to raise $100 million in pledges as part of the hospital's celebration of its 100th anniversary in 2011. A sign was unveiled on the 5th Avenue side of Children's campus reading "Home of the Future Benjamin Russell Hospital for Children" and a 16x25 foot banner was dropped from the top of one of Children's buildings bearing the campaign theme "Keeping Promises."

Children's announced the proposed project earlier this year, which would be located on the block directly north of the current hospital and would incorporate its existing buildings and the Children's Harbor facility. The Children's Board of Trustees granted approval in January of this year to proceed with planning for a possible hospital facility expansion that would relieve crowding in the current building, help to accommodate projected growth in patient volumes, and allow for anticipated medical technology needs and planned consolidation of pediatric services.
