Charity delivers gifts to kids at Children’s Hospital University of Illinois

WHAT:

The holidays arrive early for chronically ill children at Children’s Hospital University of Illinois when Exhibit 4 Smiles volunteers deliver hand-selected gifts to 75 kids.

Exhibit 4 Smiles is a charity for children with life-threatening diseases. Caring people from the exhibit industry partner with ill children who each receive a specific gift based on their age, gender and interests.

The charity was founded by Costas Varkarotas, whose son Christopher has faced a life-threatening illness. He began reaching out to his colleagues in the exhibit industry to hold a toy drive, and since then, the organization has partnered with the Exhibit Designers & Producers Association Foundation to bring hundreds of gifts to children in various cities.

WHEN:

Wednesday, Dec. 10
9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

WHERE:

Children’s Hospital University of Illinois
University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System
1740 W. Taylor St.
