The Children’s Service Board is a group of women dedicated to philanthropy in support of vital programs at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago through service opportunities, collaborative energy and purpose-driven fundraising.
The Gold Coast Fashion Show is the signature fundraising event of the Children’s Service Board, an affiliated organization of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. In 2025, the event raised over $1.5 million in support of the Hematology, Oncology and Stem Cell Transplantation Fellowship Program at Lurie Children’s.
Welcome to our valued supporters of the Children’s Service Board!
Whether you have attended our events for years or have recently been introduced to our mission, we thank you for your interest in the Children’s Service Board (“CSB”) and our goal to provide critical resources for high-quality healthcare for the children of Chicago, surrounding communities, and across the country.
The CSB, which is a leading affiliated philanthropic organization of Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, is comprised of committed women from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for the hospital’s mission to provide world-class and compassionate care to all children. Our membership includes many women whose families have been impacted by Lurie Children’s.
On January 1, 2026, the board committed to raising $5 million to support The Chicago Institute for Fetal Health (CIFH). The Institute is a multidisciplinary team in research and care of pregnant patients with fetal complications. They train experts specialized in fetal surgery, maternal-fetal medicine, fetal and neonatal cardiology, among other adult and pediatric medical and surgical subspecialties.
CIFH has performed more than 350 fetal surgeries and pioneered first-in-the-state and first-in-the-region procedures, including in-utero spina bifida repair, FETO for congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and fetal cardiac interventions. The Children’s Service Board is honored to invest in their work to elevate comprehensive care for thousands of families.
For those who have not previously been familiar with the CSB, I encourage you to reach out and find ways to engage with this remarkable group of women. Thank you to our generous sponsors and donors, our dedicated board members, and our retail and vendor partners. We are profoundly grateful to all of you for your generosity and enthusiasm for our mission and the mission of Lurie Children’s.
Fondly,
Renee Stock
