FirstService Residential Makes Significant Donation to Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago
FirstService Residential's Generous Donation to Lurie Children’s Hospital
In a remarkable show of community support, FirstService Residential Chicago has proudly donated $60,000 to the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. This significant contribution was made possible through the collective efforts of associates, clients, and partners involved in the company’s In Good Company program, all of whom came together to advocate for child health and well-being.
The funds raised will directly benefit Lurie Children's ongoing mission to enhance the health and quality of life for children. This initiative not only represents financial support but signifies a commitment to creating a safer and healthier environment for the young residents of Chicago.
As part of this donation, FirstService Residential took part in rebuilding a playground at the All Star Kids Academy located in the Near West Side of Chicago. This vital project was carried out under the guidance of Lurie Children's Hospital, emphasizing the importance of safe play spaces for children. The official unveiling of the new playground occurred on May 1, 2026, during a special dedication event attended by hospital leaders, community partners, and members of the FirstService Residential team.
T.J. Johnson, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at the Lurie Children’s Hospital Foundation, expressed gratitude on behalf of the hospital, stating, "We are incredibly grateful to FirstService Residential for helping fund and build the new playground at All Star Kids Academy. At Lurie Children’s, we believe every child deserves a safe space to play, learn, and thrive. Partners like FirstService help us turn that belief into reality."
Brian Butler, President of FirstService Residential, emphasized the responsibility that comes with serving the community. He said, "At FirstService Residential, giving back to the communities we serve is a responsibility we take seriously. Our associates, clients, and service provider partners help us create meaningful impact beyond our day-to-day work. We are proud to support Lurie Children's Hospital and be part of a project that creates lasting, positive experiences for children and families in Chicago."
