Charity delivers gifts to kids at Children’s Hospital University of Illinois
WHAT:
The holidays arrive early for chronically ill children at Children’s Hospital University of Illinois when Exhibit 4 Smiles volunteers deliver hand-selected gifts to 75 kids.
Exhibit 4 Smiles is a charity for children with life-threatening diseases. Caring people from the exhibit industry partner with ill children who each receive a specific gift based on their age, gender and interests.
The charity was founded by Costas Varkarotas, whose son Christopher has faced a life-threatening illness. He began reaching out to his colleagues in the exhibit industry to hold a toy drive, and since then, the organization has partnered with the Exhibit Designers & Producers Association Foundation to bring hundreds of gifts to children in various cities.
