CHICAGO, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Children's Memorial Hospital announced today that philanthropist Ann Lurie has pledged $100 million to help fund the new facility planned for Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. This gift is the largest given by an individual to a children's hospital in the United States.

The $100 million gift, the largest charitable investment received in the hospital's 125-year history, will be used to help create the new hospital in Chicago's Streeterville community and to enhance its pediatric research initiatives.

"This is a historic day for children's health and for the city of Chicago," said J. Christopher Reyes, chairman of the board of directors of Children's Memorial Medical Center.

"Ann Lurie is a true philanthropist and an advocate for the health and well-being of children. This gift will transform Children's Memorial Hospital and the care that we are able to provide to children and families," said Patrick M.

"This landmark investment in children's health will enable our community to better provide every child with the opportunity to reach his or her full potential."
