TEACH Partners with Holiday Heroes to Reach More Pediatric Patients in Chicago

NEW YORK, May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TEACH (Together Educating All Children in Hospitals), a nonprofit organization that creates an outlet for hospitalized children to passionately engage with the sciences through fun, interactive experiments, announced its collaborative efforts with Holiday Heroes to bring TEACH's modules to the former's hospital parties. Holiday Heroes creates fun events to distract children from the stress and anxiety a hospital stay can often bring. Now newly armed with TEACH's interactive STEM modules, Holiday Heroes have debuted TEACH's repertoire at their parties. In March alone, approximately 230 children were able to try TEACH's salt painting module at the University of Illinois, Advocate Children's Hospital-Oak Lawn, Lurie, Rush, Advocate Children's Hospital-Park Ridge, and Central Dupage Hospital. The combined efforts of both of these organizations allowed more children to be reached since the inception of this collaboration, and TEACH looks forward to continuing this beneficiary relationship and serving the children of Chicago. "Holiday Heroes is excited about our partnership with TEACH as we look to bring joy and normalcy to more hospitalized children around the country!" says Bridgette Ferraro, Executive Director of Holiday Heroes.
