ECN’s Chicago Chapter hosted a Teddy Bear drive in collaboration with Adventist Midwest Health and the National Arab American Medical Association (NAAMA) in order to provide children at the Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital with teddy bears around the holiday season.

The Chicago Chapter set up donation points throughout Chicago at which they could accept new teddy bear donations to send to the hospital. Collection efforts resulted in a final total of over 150 teddy bears, which were distributed to children in the pediatric and emergency sections at the Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital.

Mrs. Mary Alexander-Basta, the ECN Chicago Chapter leader, said, ”We hope [that through this effort] we make a child’s holiday a little brighter.”
