Rae Strong in 2020
In a year unlike any other, we wanted to make sure we still worked towards our mission statement of assisting the families of micropreemies. Thank you to all that helped contribute to the Rae Strong Foundation in 2020, here's is a look back on some of what we accomplished together:
Events
In a "normal" year, we like to celebrate preemies and give help with as many of you as we can. Obviously, that was difficult in 2020, but we still managed to hold a few safe events this year.
Ways We Gave Back & Improved
Rae Strong provides assistance to Preemie families through education, financial help, and NICU donations. Through your donations we were able to accomplish the following in 2020:
We partnered with Eat Clean Chicago to provide healthy, delicious meals to Loyola NICU nurses that were working long, tiresome hours during the pandemic.
Two Families were awarded financial assistance from us. Rae Strong will have a new and improved process for families applying for direct financial assistance in 2021!
With the money raised through World Prematurity Awareness Day & Giving Tuesday we gifted Rae Strong Mugs and Gift Cards to 3 different Chicagoland NICUs.
We are always looking to improve, and used time in quarantine to develope our new website as well as find ways to expand the Rae Strong team to allow us to go after bigger and better projects in 2021.
Thank you!
Rae Strong is nothing without you, and we look forward to what we can accomplish in 2021 and beyond!
