AAO-HNSF gives back

The AAO-HNSF is proud to be partnering with Cradles to Crayons in Chicago during this year’s Annual Meeting to give back to those in our host city. Cradles to Crayons focuses on children ages 12 and under, who are homeless or living in low-income homes and need a helping hand.

Cradles to Crayons focuses on children ages 12 and under, who are homeless or living in low-income homes and need a helping hand.

Providing these children with essential items gives them the opportunity to thrive—at home, at school, and at play. Cradles to Crayons supplies these items free of charge by engaging and connecting those communities that have more to give with those communities that are in need.

In Illinois, one in four children under the age of five lives in poverty, and more than 197,000 of those children call Chicago home. Each deserves the chance to wear a warm coat in the winter and carry a backpack stocked with supplies on the first day of school.

All net proceeds will be donated to Cradles to Crayons.
