THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!:

Our annual Gala Dinner/Concert with silent & live auctions was a huge success, thanks to all of you who attended and so graciously donated to our cause. We raised enough money that we donated to Children's Memorial $10,000 bringing the total that we have given to them over the years to almost $120,000. And we gave four local families $8,000 each bringing the total that we have given to seventeen different local families to $114,000.

We would also like to thank our special performers: Michael Ingersoll, Shonn Wiley, Michael Cunio, and John Michael Dias,

The Four Leading Cast Members of the
Chicago Production of Jersey Boys

WHY WE DO THIS YEAR AFTER YEAR:

peopleFirst held in 1999, the "Hats Off for Thomas" Gala  raises funds to help children with cancer. Our desire is to directly affect the quality and enjoyment of life. The lives of the sick children and their families change so drastically. A moment of happiness, a smile, in the midst of months or years of darkness is priceless.

Thanks to everyone's generosity, 100% of the auction proceeds will benefit Children's Memorial Hospital, local pediatric cancer patients and their families.

It's All About Kids is a 501(C)3 non-for-profit corporation devoted to helping children with cancer and their families. We are a 100% volunteer organization.

Hat's Off For Thomas Gala-2010 will be celebrating the fact that these children seem to be "Singing in the Rain". They are always in good spirits and are always trying to make there families happy!  We celebrate "the sun in their hearts"!!
